Use of Mastercard contactless cards to pay for transport available from April, Visa later this year.
Commuters can use their Mastercard contactless bank cards or compatible mobile devices to pay for bus and train rides from April, with Visa expected to be supported “later this year”, following a two-year pilot.
“With SimplyGo, commuters will have the option of carrying one less card for transport and not having to do card top-ups,” Dr Janil added. The authority will release a list of operating systems and mobile devices which have been tested to be compatible with SimplyGo closer to the launch. Commuters using SimplyGo can register for an account and link different contactless bank cards on the TransitLink SimplyGo Portal, which is available online and via the TL SimplyGo mobile app.
