#Singapore 's #SimplyGo web portal is discontinued?? and eventho I already had an account + linked my VISA to their #EZ-link or wtv it's called, doesn't seem that I could access their mobile app anymore since the login asked for an SG mobile number, when the old login I had was purely email. Too bad, cos that thing was cool.

Had to buy a new ezlink card for #transit. My old ones expired 2022 and 2023 respectively. But I got a special one featuring Singapore’s anniversary SG60. :)

Are We Simply Going To Ignore The S$40M?
#Singapore
"I wouldn’t hv known abt the drawbacks of #SimplyGo by reading its marketing paraphernalia or earlier news reports. It’s like pushing a product & neglect'g even a cautionary statement in e fine print. Then u get a surprise when you use it. In fact, it didn't start as a replacement for #EZLink, but more for the convenience of credit card holders .. reflects a #bureaucracy that seems to be #outoftouch with people’s needs"
