I really don't know. That's why I ask.

Ezlink can use in changi and jurong east.

But yoyo card cannot take train in KHH but can take khh bus. that's why I ask about the sim card mah.

Why are you even using transportation tap cards to compare against telco simcards?

At least 26 analogy better, buy sim card in tampines cannot use in jurong...

uu card can use on kkh bus? sure bo?

update: can. from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EasyCard):

Buses

The EasyCard can be used on bus systems in Taipei, New Taipei, Keelung, Taoyuan, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung City.

When paying bus fare, the EasyCard machine prevents repeated transactions on the same card until the bus travels into the next paying section. The bus driver can reset this mechanism so passengers are able to swipe multiple times to pay for others. Transfers between the MRT and bus systems offer half-fare discounts which are automatically taken when the card is scanned.

In Taichung, users can enjoy an 8-kilometer free ride.

Went once in 2011...

Near their Presidential Office Building is usually road closure, got exhibit around the place and the surrounding area but alot of ppl(Nt a place u would go anyway), main parade is need pass to access..Dadaocheng Wharf should have fireworks if you are keen but be warn, the crowd is scary..

Other than that, the usual places no issue..

Below pictures on actual day morning..Around 8-9am..

This few is from around the main event..
