  To those who always use ez card. Like to bring to your attention on local
  bus service provider. Nowdays, everyone use EZlink card for transportation.
  Normally, when you board the bus, you flash your ezlink card and move in
  and
  when you get down the bus, you flash your card again at the exit door (
  located at the middle of the bus ). We all know that if we forget to flash
  the card, full fare will be deducted from the card.
  
  Below is something not known to public:-
  But if you alight from the front door ( the entrance ) and you flash your
  card while exiting without informing the bus driver, the card will capture
  another entrance fare instead of exit fare thus meaning that two full fares
  will be deducted from the card as no exit was being captured for the two
  entrances. For example, you board a crowded bus at Pasir Ris ( where it
  terminates at Jurong East ) and decided to get down ten stops later. If you
  flash your card at the front door without informing the bus-driver, a
  second
  entrance fare will be captured instead of exit fare thus you are paying for
  two full fares ( 2 X $ 1.90 = $ 3.80 ) instead of one fare ( approximately
  $
  0.83 ).
  
  This is a useful info.
  
  Here's the solution :-
  Go to the "big" machine (ie machine for U to top up the card) located at
  the
  MRT stations.
  
  1) Insert your EZ link card
  2) Press the function key "Check card"
  3) Press "more"
  
  The above function will show U the last 20 transactions. Information on the
  fare deducted, bus no, boarding time and the boarding and alighting point
  will be reflected on the screen. Hope the above information is useful to U.
  
  Please pass this email to people you know so that they will not pay extra
  charges for nothing and burn a big hole in their pockets.
  
  Last but not least, call the hotline line : 1800 767 4333 when the
  incorrect
  fares are deducted.

  i got this when ezlink was first introduced.
  Aniwae....this is no longer a problem as we can now tap the fu.cking ezlink machine w/o informing the driver. If u look carefully at the machine, u will see "Entrance/Exit"
