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.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
