From March 18 to June 30, adults who had converted their travel cards to the account-based ticketing system SimplyGo will have the option of getting a new ez-link card that is compatible with the older card-based ticketing system from all 44 ticket offices islandwide.
This will allow them to see fare deductions and card balances on fare readers once again - a function unavailable with SimplyGo, which shows such transactions on its app.
Adult passengers who updated their cards to SimplyGo or bought a SimplyGo ez-link card between Jan 9 and 22 are eligible for the new cards. They can continue using their SimplyGo-compatible cards even after collecting the new cards, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Feb 28.
The collection process will be staggered based on the last digit of a user's SimplyGo ez-link card identification number, LTA added.
For instance, those with ez-link card identification numbers ending with the digit 1 or 2 will be scheduled to collect their cards between March 18 and 24, while those with numbers ending with 9 or 0 will be able to pick up the cards from April 15 to 28.
Those who bought a Nets Prepaid Card from Jan 9 to 22 can also collect a free Nets FlashPay card, which is compatible with the cardbased system, at ticket offices from April 1 to June 30.
Concession card holders who are seniors, persons with disabilities or lower-wage workers, as well as adult monthly travel card holders, will be mailed replacement cards between April 1 and May 31. To qualify, they must have been issued SimplyGo cards or converted their travel cards to the accountbased system on Jan 22 or earlier.
