What do u guys think about the ezlink system on buses?

Pathetic. Especially when I use EZ-Link cards to print documents in my school. Now the reader in my school reads -$0.05 even though the reader in the Nissan CAC bus reads $0.40 .

acceptable but its kind of annoying when the - sign appears near the exit when u are allighting. the BCs usually forget then suddenly rmb then off the - sign. so far i've yet to seen a case where the - sign still dere and when pple try tap the reader still cannot then the BC close the door till next stop. if that happens, u see alot passengers complain to sbst.

Oh yeah the system's quite advanced, but for some got alot of problems.
Once I took an NAC MKII 74. The reader was fine when I boarded the bus. But halfway along the journey (at the french school) the whole system kena lost contact with the HQ. So cannot tap when boarding or alighting. So that time alighting pax. cannot tap, so kena charged full fare; driver told the pax. to go Transitlink Office to get a refund. While the boarding pax. are forced to pay cash, then some no loose change must wait another 74. Then the bus at AMK hub there suddenly the system can connect liao. So everything was back to normal. A few complains from affected pax. though.
