What is?

Land Transport Authority (LTA) and TransitLink have partnered the various payment schemes to introduce contactless payments on trains and buses.

With SimplyGo, you can use your contactless bank cards^% or Mastercard/Visa cards added to the mobile wallet^# immediately* for fare payments. You will no longer have to make upfront top-ups or carry a separate travel card, and your train and bus fares will be processed and charged to your bank account or credit/debit card bill directly.
