Wha express transit not working? My s10plus works flawlessly leh, no need to even screen on the phone. Means for Apple I have to bring up Apple Pay and authorize first??

Yes.. I've seen more failures from Samsung Pay transit mode than the authorize first way. It was an odd feeling to be with my group of 4 friends all using Apple Pay to way by the gantry with the stranger using his Samsung phone continuously trying to tap to get through.

Never had issues with Apple Pay on buses. With train readers it’s hit or miss. I’ll use CEPAS if I anticipate myself taking the train.

Hmmm that’s interesting. Usually buses are more problematic for me, although compared to the trial period it’s practically working perfectly lol.

What phone are you using?

I’m mostly using my Apple Watch to pay for rides.

Typing this as I’m on the bus now. No problems at all.

But I always get card errors at MRT gantries. Got charged the $2 missing entrance twice.

For those who get missing exit. Did you turn on SimplyGo's notification feature? Does it still notify you when you receive the status of "missing exit" a few days later?

I've got notifications turned on and I haven't faced any missing exit issues.

Perhaps you may want to give that a try.

There is an option in Wallet & Apple Pay that says "Express Transit Card", do we have to assign the card that we want to use iPhone to pay?

The sub-text below it says "xxxxx will work automatically, without requiring authentication, to pay for public transport"

I am starting to wonder is it because of the recent apple watch update that is causing the errors? I am using watchOS 5.2.1

I remember the day before the error happened there was a watchOS update too.

Give it a reboot? I have no issues with 5.2.1

You have that option under your Wallet setting?
