With about 1.8 million active EZ-link cards due to expire this year, EZ-link is embarking on a massive six-month exercise to replace them for free, reported The Straits Times.
From today till 31st December, commuters with cards that expire this year - regardless of whether they have been used recently - can get them replaced at any TransitLink ticket office at no cost, while stocks last.
EZ-link will also hold roadshows every Friday and Saturday this month at various locations, including Ang Mo Kio bus interchange and Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, to replace the cards. Any value in the old card can be transferred to the new one.
The company said free cards will be mailed to customers with expiring cards who are signed up to its auto top-up scheme named EZ-Reload.
Commuters can check if their cards are expiring by going to the website and entering the 16-digit number printed on the back of their cards.
They can also check the expiry date of their cards at general ticketing machines, add value machines, SAM kiosks, OCBC automated teller machines and AXS stations.
