Why don't I just use my ezlink card?
LTA spends so much money so that I can use my ezlink card.
For my use, I think it's fine. You can stick with ezlink and ask LTA for tax rebate?

The charges are not always instantly reflected on the app too. Especially for some bus trips, sometimes have to wait 1-2 days. Not sure how much they have improved before official launch. The last I encountered this was maybe last month. I reverted to using cepas card. But if this NFC thing works well I am interested to try.
See this is why I was saying that so close to launch date and no info. Some people here insisted all the info is provided. How to link your virtual card to ABT is a question mark. Some here say no need because the system will simply know. Some keep insisting no need to register (then how to see charges?)
Sorry hor, with this system I'm guessing you go back to using EZ-Link while tapping with your wallet might have problem too. You will need to rearrange your cards such that all other paywave/paypass enabled cards are not stacked with your EZ-Link
NFC thing works not that well, actually.
ApplePay for face is a pain for contactless payment. It would be worse for MRT, I guess.
lots of apple pay users already used Mobile ABT during pilot test.
we have used it and it worked.
just like u pay by apple pay at shops and the transaction is charged to your physical card bill.
From day 1 since the 1st ezlink was launched donkey years back. It’s advised that users should take out card to tap.
Just that since tapplng wallet or handbags, or whatever backpacks work as well, it has become common practice.
Now some might also have memory problem, forgot which card to take out and tap.
Use phone, face id also very problematic. Frustrating indeed! I want to be able to stroll through gates without doing anything!
weren't they testing the strolling through gates thing? wonder what happened.From day 1 since the 1st ezlink was launched donkey years back. It’s advised that users should take out card to tap.

Anyone using ApplePay for public transport only activate it when tapping on gantry?
One day, I will carry a POS machine and come close to all who use ApplePay or G-Pay for public transport. I guess, many of them will have enabled payment already, just waiting to tap on gantry. All you need is a POS machine near their phone and the phone will authorize payment automatically.
Wonderful, right?
Change the SIM to non-NFC, simple?
Cost $42++.
Besides, that is just a workaround, not a solution. And my phone got this feature, why should I sacrifice this feature in order to use the simplygo. If Simplygo dev is good, they should try to solve the compatibility issue. Standard practice for all software devs.
ApplePay with fingerprint or face recognition.
Default card or another card for public transport?
I found that it is not easy to use with face recognition and not default card for public transport.
Discussed before, so which city's Apple Pay on transit system is the best?
London? Even then need to activate Face/Touch ID before approaching the gate.
Japan's Suica? Yes it's best. But it's not credit card. Need to add value to Suica. Added step.
Who else?
Actually, I don't think I will be making use of the new features. The cards that give better rebates for ABT (ie cimb master platinum, boc qoo10) cannot be added to samsung/apple/google pay.
