The Government of Singapore has announced plans to transform its public transport infrastructure, with a range of new initiatives aimed at improving travel efficiency, accessibility, and overall commuter experience.
Key initiatives include a shift to the SimplyGo payment system. This modernised system will replace older fare payment methods, such as the NETS FlashPay and unupgraded EZ-Link adult cards, which will no longer be accepted for fare payments.
The transition to SimplyGo is part of the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) broader strategy to encourage the adoption of more efficient and updated fare payment methods. Commuters using legacy stored-value cards can continue to use them for non-public transport expenses, such as Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) charges and parking fees.
In addition to enhancing local transport, Singapore is also improving its cross-border transportation network with the introduction of bus services between Woodlands and Johor Baru. The Causeway Link buses will operate at frequent intervals to ease travel demand following the reopening of the Singapore-Malaysia land borders.
