To those who always use ez card. Like to bring to your attention
on local
bus service provider. Nowdays, everyone use EZlink card for
transportation.
Normally, when you board the bus, you flash your ezlink card and
move in
and
when you get down the bus, you flash your card again at the exit
door (
located at the middle of the bus ). We all know that if we forget
to flash
the card, full fare will be deducted from the card.
Below is something not known to public:-
But if you alight from the front door ( the entrance ) and you
flash your
card while exiting without informing the bus driver, the card will
capture
another entrance fare instead of exit fare thus meaning that two
full fares
will be deducted from the card as no exit was being captured for
the two
entrances. For example, you board a crowded bus at Pasir Ris (
where it
terminates at Jurong East ) and decided to get down ten stops
later. If you
flash your card at the front door without informing the bus-driver,
a
second
entrance fare will be captured instead of exit fare thus you are
paying for
two full fares ( 2 X $ 1.90 = $ 3.80 ) instead of one fare (
approximately
$
0.83 ).
This is a useful info.
Here's the solution :-
Go to the "big" machine (ie machine for U to top up the card)
located at
the
MRT stations.
1) Insert your EZ link card
2) Press the function key "Check card"
3) Press "more"
The above function will show U the last 20 transactions.
Information on the
fare deducted, bus no, boarding time and the boarding and alighting
point
will be reflected on the screen. Hope the above information is
useful to U.
Please pass this email to people you know so that they will not pay
extra
charges for nothing and burn a big hole in their pockets.
Last but not least, call the hotline line : 1800 767 4333 when
the
incorrect
fares are deducted.
