EZ-Link card
The EZ-Link card, a contactless smart-card, is an easier, cheaper and faster way to travel on MRT Trains and buses in Singapore.
Upon arrival at Singapore Changi Airport, buy an ezlink card for S$15 at the Changi Airport MRT station. S$7 is the travel credit (With effect from 4th November 2003), S$3.00 is the Refundable Travel Deposit and S$5 is the non-refundable Card Cost.
When travelling by MRT train or bus, touch the ezLink card lightly on the card reader upon entry and exit to an MRT station or upon boarding and disembarking a bus. The published ezLink-discounted fare (you pay more if you do not use ezlink card) is automatically deducted from the pre-paid amount.
The pre-paid amount in the card can be topped-up (minimum S$10, in multiples of S$10.00) at any MRT train station. Before departing Singapore, return the ezLink card to any MRT train station for any unused portion of the travel credit and the travel deposit.
