Kindly refer to the attached for the press release, as well as hi-res images from this afternoon’s event. In addition, benefits of the new PAssion ez-link card are listed below for your easy reference:

As the new PAssion ez-link Card is a CEPAS compliant card, it enables the payment of transit services such as train rides. Thus, to bring even more convenience and benefits to PAssion ez-link Card Members who use public transport like the MRT trains frequently, they will soon find themselves enjoying greater savings with SMRT Corporation. SMRT is collaborating with the PA to open up more benefits and privileges for PAssion ez-link Card Members. At all SMRT Xchanges, starting with Raffles Xchange, PAssion ez-link Card Members will enjoy attractive benefits and privileges.

PAssion ez-link Card Members will also enjoy special offers when they service their vehicles at SMRT Automotives, and when they take an SMRT taxi. SMRT Taxis is the first taxi operator to provide special offers to PAssion ez-link Card Members, and the only operator to allow payment using ez-link cards. Card Members will also enjoy double chances for SMRT promotion programmes like the current "Ride Free with SMRT", where they stand to win 3-year free rides on SMRT trains and buses, and promotions and lucky draws at SMRT Xchanges.
