Serious Ungrateful Old Fart Hwee Ming Upset That SimplyGo EZ-Link Card Doesn't Display The Fare When He Taps In! Kow Pei Kow Bu On Straits Times!

[JohnTan]

No fare display with SimplyGo
I recently upgraded my senior citizen concession card to SimplyGo.

To my dismay, I now have no idea how much I am paying for my MRT and bus rides, or the remaining balance in my card.

When I tap at the MRT gates and when I get on and off the bus, the only message that is shown is “SimplyGo”. This is very frustrating, especially for seniors.

How does this improve our ride experience?

Yeow Hwee Ming

Heng ah ! I parkkour to work. No such problem

SimplyGo is nothing more than a scam by the banks to data mine your public transport expenditure, with the full blessing of the LTA and the usual suspects.

I just use my credit card with EZ-Reload, which auto tops up the fare value when necessary.

I think you can also link to Giro and auto deduct from your bank account.

Reminder: this ad is on the LTA's official Youtube channel. I wonder how much money those jiakliaobees received from the banks?

They're trying to eliminate cash and nudge you into using QR codes and apps for everything.

Whole China using QR codes and apps for payment, saw jiuhu kias online showing they can use their Malaysia touch N go ewallet app in China

Easy to understand why if you know what kind of country China is. Progress or enslavement? Your answer is a good indicator of your stance on China.

That chee bye Simply Go card has a lot of problems when used on buses. There were a few times when I tapped in and the red flashing signal comes on stating that the card is invalid or has insufficient funds even though I just topped up. I had to disembark and take the train instead. Anyone encounter similar problems when used on buses?

Nope, because I don't use SimplyGo.

Seriously, use EZ-Reload or Giro top-up. No fuss, no drama.

But I bet daft Sinkies will continue to use SimplyGo, because 1) they think it's cool or convenient to pay fares with their phone, and 2) SimplyGo (banks) have some kind of reward system for users.

Digital payments are part of WEF/CCP and globalist plan to control the financial system, I believe that's why AMDK invented crypto but that stuff doesn't work for everyone.
Europe is the most extreme they inject RFID chip into your hands for digital payments, Christians know it as mark of the beast described in the last chapter of the Bible https://www.bbc.com/news/business-61008730

I had to replace my farecard as it was expiring soon. They gave me a new card. After that, I can only see the chee bye words "Simply Go" each time I tap in instead of the remaining value of the card. Which mother fucker came up with this fucking system?

You must shout or sing SIMPLY GO whenever you tap your farecard or phone/watch. Like in this video.

Also stop the stupid announcements especially the cheng siew sum tai cup, peng gark gan fu Sao, tor zer. Want to vomit keep hearing.

Having 4 language announcements is suffice if you want.
Farking stupid smrt, why not include teochew hakka etc
