SimplyGo (ABT) and Pay [Express Travel Not Supported]

[deathst]

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.

Myself using samsung pay always goes throu fine, thou abit slower than apple pay. Need to know where your nfc is.

Apple pay also fine for me just need authenticate first. Tried both.
Using Xs max and s10

weird i never had any failure with transit on s10+, just could never get my galaxy watch to do it.

recently using my iphone more, can use apple watch to tap at gantry right?

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?

Not sure if the simplygo guys are doing anything, but i just tried using apple watch to enter but fail again. In the end have to use my credit card.

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"

Express transit does not work in SG.

 

[Disturbed_Munky]

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.

Ah! Thanks! So far I have yet to try paying via iPhone, will give it a try.

I used this for 1 1/2 months only got 1 time missing exit. Within 3 days they settled it

Give it a reboot? I have no issues with 5.2.1

You have that option under your Wallet setting?

 

[alvinblank]

You have that option under your Wallet setting?

It is in iOS 12.3

It’s in iOS 12.3 but not everyone has the setting appearing.

Do you have it? What’s your region of your phone?
