LTA enables Amex contactless fare payments for public transport

Commuters can now use Amex for transport with no extra fees.

Starting 15 May, commuters can use their American Express (Amex) cards to make contactless payments for public transport fares without additional fees, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) reported.

Commuters can also add the cards to their mobile wallets without having to pre-register their cards for public transport rides.

Similar to retail transactions, charges for public transport rides are reflected in the commuter’s credit, charge, debit or prepaid card bills.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
