As one of the “must-have”s when headed out, EZ-Link cards have brought us one refreshing edition after another.
The newest update, launched today (28 Jan), allows commuters to top up their and others’ EZ-Link cards remotely via the EZ-Link App.
With the new contactless feature, commuters won’t need to queue for top-ups, or search for a ticketing machine to add value at.
According to a press release by EZ-Link Pte Ltd., the newest update launched today (28 Jan) is an account-based system linked to the EZ-Link App.
Apart from remote top-ups, you’ll receive instant updates on every transaction made or when there’s low or insufficient balance.
The most useful feature perhaps is the auto top-up option that allows seamless transfer whenever balances run low.
It also helps manage your travel budget, as you can keep track of your transport expenses through the EZ-Link app.
Other benefits include travel reward points which can be redeemed from over 100 merchants. You can also block your lost cards to prevent unauthorised usage.
The updated EZ-Link cards will be available for purchase at all TransitLink Ticket Offices from today (28 Jan).
Alternatively, you can update your existing ones. Here’s a simple tutorial on how to do so:
This updated EZ-Link card greatly reduces the hassle of queuing for top-ups or needing to add value with no machines around.
On top of enhanced convenience for us commuters, it also potentially helps alleviate congestion at MRT stations or bus interchanges.
All you have to do is to head down to any General Ticketing Machine (GTM), Add Value Machine (AVM) or TransitLink Ticket Office and get your EZ-Link card upgraded.
