Government spending S$40 million for hardware replacement, system maintenance to extend ticketing system: LTA​

Responding to CNA's queries on Monday (Jan 22), an LTA spokesperson said the budget will be used for the hardware replacements and systems maintenance required to extend the adult card-based ticketing (CBT) system.

It will be funded by the government. ?!?! :ROFLMAO:

till date no news on who is behind simplyGO, the ultimate fail that cost taxpayers $40million dollars.

in other countries the management would be exposed gao gao and will show any affiliations with the gov personnel

Hong Kong buildings like 50 years look like crap also government don't care.

never force residents to up keep and paint also. all still use old aircon and everywhere aircon water dripping.

you want to upgrade to using credit card for majority of people. then such cards only for kids or people without
