• Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) today said commuters will be able to use their Mastercard bank cards or mobile phones to pay for their public transport fees with the launch of SimplyGo scheduled on April 4.
• “Commuters simply need to tap their Mastercard contactless bank cards on the fare reader at the train station gantry or on the bus when boarding and alighting,” LTA said.
• The TransitLink SimplyGo mobile app also offers other travel-related services and information, such as concession card application and bus routes and schedules.
