  • Singapore expat part 3: unified payment system across transport

    Just like Hong Kong (Octopus), Seoul (T-Money) and London (Oyster), Singapore has a public transport card (Ez-Link). Like HK and Seoul, you can use this card for small payments in 7/11 alike shops. This payment card works on all transport modes. Bus. MRT (metro). No matter who operates it.
