LTA extends card-based ticketing system as SimplyGo undergoes enhancement

SimplyGo users can exchange their cards for CBT cards for free.

Commuters can still use EZ-Link and NETS FlashPay cards on public transport following the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) extension of the existing adult card-based ticketing (CBT) system.

LTA will operate the CBT system in parallel with the SimplyGo system.

Commuters who have the SimplyGo EZ-Link cards or had their EZ-Link cards converted to SimplyGo between 9 January and 22 January can exchange their cards for a CBT EZ-Link card for free.

Concession card holders, including seniors, students, Workfare Transport Concession cardholders, and persons with disabilities, can also exchange their SimplyGo Concession card for a CBT Concession card for free.

Recently, LTA announced phasing out CBT cards to replace them with the NETS FlashPay card, which they cancelled amidst public complaints.

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.
