Just a minor bug for you all to notice (some of you may have
noticed)
I spotted a 'bug' in the ez-link system. My card contains a value
of -$1.31 and I am aware of this all along. However, I am using
Concession Pass ($52 bus only) all this while. When I tap the
ez-link card, it shows me "Welcome and have a nice day".
When I tap out before exiting the bus, it will show me my value,
which is -$1.31. However, I usually don't tap out when I leave the
bus, as I am using concession pass, it's not compulsory for me to
tap out. This gives my card a even higher negative value. On one
occassion, I did not tap out and when I top-up my card with $10,
the value is shown as $7.16. This means that my card has a negative
value of $2.84. From $1.31 to $2.84?
However, after tapping the card again, my value will be restored to
$8.69. This does not affect my real value in the card, but just a
defect.
The system works in a way that if you do not tap out, the system
will minus a full fare on your card (it seemed to minus even for
concession pass but will restore once the user tap in or out
again).
Works only for Tertiary/Sec/JC/Primary ez-link cards. Go try it.
