1. Members of the public will be able to exchange their ez-link cards for new cards that are CEPAS-compliant in a free one-for-one card replacement exercise starting from tomorrow (9 January). The new cards are required for the next generation e-payment system for public transport, Symphony for e-Payment (SeP) which was launched by the Land Transport Authority in December 2008. SeP is based on the Singapore Standard for Contactless ePurse Application (CEPAS) and allows more card issuers to issue CEPAS-compliant cards for use in Singapore's public transit system, thus giving commuters more choice.
2. The card replacement exercise will be conducted in stages, starting from 9 January with the replacement of cards for holders of the ez-link Adult Anonymous cards. This will be followed by the replacement of cards for holders of concession cards from 16 February.
3. The one-for-one card replacement exercise will end in September 2009, when the current EIFS fare system will be discontinued. After September 2009, the old ez-link cards cannot be used for travel on public transit. However, cardholders may still get a refund on any remaining value in their old cards up to 12 years from the date the card is first encoded for use.
