Instead, the screen will show only "SimplyGo", and users who want to check their card balance have to rely on ticketing machines or the SimplyGo app.

"We have designed the SimplyGo app to allow commuters to view this information and more," said LTA, pointing to the app alerts on fares for each trip via push notifications on a user's phone. 

"SimplyGo users who prefer not to use the app can also view their trip details and card balance at ticketing machines located at every train station and bus interchange."

Some commuters were also frustrated at why the existing systems had to be removed, instead of integrating new systems with old ones. 

"While (the Card-Based Ticketing system) has served us well, the CBT system for adult commuters is now reaching the end of its operational lifespan," said LTA on Friday, adding that two in three adult commuters have adopted SimplyGo since December 2023.

"Instead of renewing the CBT system and continuing to run two systems which is very costly, we have decided to continue only with the SimplyGo system for adult commuters from Jun 1, 2024."

LTA said it understands that commuters who have not yet switched to SimplyGo will need time to adjust to the new system.

"That is why we made the announcement of the transition a few months before Jun 1," said the agency, adding that service ambassadors will be deployed at train stations and bus interchanges to assist commuters. 

"We will continue to leverage advancements in technology to improve the experience of checking fares and card balances with SimplyGo."

UPGRADING PROCESS

The upgrading process has not gone quite as smoothly as some commuters would have liked as well, with some telling CNA that they encountered issues.  

At City Hall station on Friday, one commuter said she was unable to upgrade her card at two stations.

Another two said they encountered hiccups during their attempt - the ticketing machine initially dispensed receipts saying the upgrade failed but the process resumed when they left their cards on the reader. They said the whole process took about five minutes.
