What is an EZ-Link Card?

An EZ-Link card is a contactless smart card used for making payments for public transportation in Singapore. The card is equipped with a stored-value purse that can be topped up with money, which is then automatically deducted when you tap the card on a fare reader at MRT stations, bus stops, and other participating locations.
