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

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
