After I tapped out mrt, Abt card had error.... Couldn't tap into bus. When I called transit link, they told me that quite a number of CIMB users had card error. Asked me to get card replacement from cimb :s22:

it happened to me with different cards

i think its got more to do with the gantry system instead of card specific issue

for my issues, transitlink said it was error at the entry system at that mrt station

i tried again a few days later with the same card and no more issues

without displaying the fare, troublesome to check for error later. prefer ezlink or nestfp that can check last exit time to time for next transfer.

1. Using the UOB PRVI MILES, you can get 1.4 miles per dollar (only when at least 5 sgd is hit per 5 days)
2. Do you feel that the tapping is less sensitive and it doesnt go through ur wallet, as compared w cepas?

2. Yes, and even if you take it out of your wallet to tap, you still get an error message half the time.

not great times to use ABT now. till they trial contactless next year and banks starts rolling out promos to encourage takeup rate.

back to NFP ATU for now.

Less sensitive, and there is a noticeable lag in the machine when reading the card.

I am thinking of moving to using a Mastercard credit card for the MRT, for the only reason that I can carry one card less in my wallet.

So my question is: are people here using the SCB Unlimited Mastercard to tap in and out of the MRT without any issues?

I ask because initially the Standard Chartered Cashback Unlimited Mastercard could not be linked? Or there was a delay of some sort.
