The old EZ-link cards are used mainly for public transportation; personally, I have not used it other than that. The new EZ-link card promises more functions and convenience.
Main changes:
- No deposit. Still remember that you paid a deposit for your old EZ-link card? From now on, you won't have to put a deposit for the new cards. I believed this is a welcomed change; I particularly hate the idea of having a deposit in the card, as I really don't get to see the deposit again.
- Able to use it for ERPs in the future. Yay, more convenience for ERP payments. Should I be happy?
- More shops are going to accept payments via EZ-link card in the future. I think this is the most useful change made to the cards.
Adult EZ Link cards can be exchanged for new ones from 9 Jan 2009, at all 62 SingPost branches, 42 TransitLink ticket offices and selected bus interchanges. Child, student and tertiary concession cards can be exchanged from February 16, while senior citizens can replace their concession cards from April 1.

Hi there! Thanks for advertising on my blog. I'm a Malaysian and sometimes travel to Singapore. I have the old EZ-link card. Can it still be used? And for how long?
Hi! Thanks for visiting. If i am not wrong, the old cards can still be used until the end of September.
Oh? What if I don't use it by then? Will the amount still in the card be burnt? That means it's as good as throwing away the card?
Hmm... I am not too sure. I think you can always refund your old cards.
thanks for sharing, have not been there yet
how much was the deposit for the old card?
