What is TransitLink?

Land Transport Authority (LTA) and TransitLink have partnered with 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. No registration or application is required!

You can simply take the card out of your wallet, tap and go. 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.

From 28 January 2021, commuters will also be able to update their current EZ-link cards+ or purchase a new account-based EZ-Link card to be onboard SimplyGo.

What’s more, register for an account on the SimplyGo Portal, available online and via the award-winning SimplyGo app, to keep track of your travel expenditure and history easily and conveniently, anytime and anywhere!
