  Sorry I am not very clear about the differences between the old and new card. What exactly is causing commuters to complain so much?

  The only diff i am complaining now is the old card we could use the fare stored inside till minus our deposit fare but the new card we need to "Top" up once the card value is less @$3.00....See the diff?

   

  Old Card- Can use even if value remaining is less $1.00

   

  New Card- Can not use if value less $3.00, gotta to top up to more than $3.00 to ride on MRT or Bus....

  I got mine @ Tampines Bus Interchange...was in Q for 40mins...The process is "long" only at counter due the trnsfer of data from old card to new card. It takes about 1-3mins per card..

  I've got the CEPAS trial card and it's been giving problems when topping up. Can't use GTM, can't use the station control. I hope the problem's been solved now but the question is, can I extend my secondary school ez-link card until September while still charging me JC/Poly fare?
