Please remember to attach a photocopy of your NRIC (front and reverse) and a colour passport sized photograph to the application form.

Your Senior Citizen ez-link card will be mailed to you together with further instructions for use.

To activate and start using your Senior Citizen ez-link card, please proceed to any TransitLink Ticket Office and pay the Card Deposit, Personalisation Fee and top-up with travel value.

Please bring along your NRIC for verification (proxy needs to produce his/her NRIC too if activating card on your behalf).

Senior citizens can enjoy concession fares during the concession hours. Please click here for more information

Just visit any TransitLink Ticket Office to top-up the ez-link card with a minimum stored value of $10. The maximum stored value allowed is $100.

The Add Value Machines (AVMs) and General Ticketing Machines (GTMs) in MRT stations and bus interchanges also allow top-up of ez-link cards via cash or NETS (Please use exact amount when paying via cash as the GTM does not issue change. The AVM does not accept cash.).

• The concession card must be carried as proof of eligibility when traveling on the MRt/LRT/bus in order to enjoy travel concession.
  
  
• If you forget to bring your concession card or if your concession card has expired, please pay adult cash fare or use a valid Adult ez-link card.
  
  
• If you are a concession card holder and intend to pay cash, please let the bus driver know. Then tap your ez-link card at the reader for verification of the card’s validity before you drop your cash into the farebox.
  
  
• Concession cards are not transferable, so please use the concession card that belongs to you.
  
  
• Please do not place your Senior Citizen ez-link card on top of another ez-link card inside your wallet, bag or any personal carrier. Only the intended card to be used for travel should be tapped at the bus and MRT/LRT gate readers to avoid problems and/or retention of your card. Each card is to be used separately. Newly issued cards are to be topped up before being used to pay fares.
  
  
• Although senior citizens need only to pay a flat fee during the off-peak period, they should still tap the ez-link card against the entry and exit card readers when boarding and alighting from buses. It is a good habit to cultivate because exit processing will ensure that a transfer rebate is given for valid transfers.

To report loss, card holders can call 1800-CALL ONE (1800-2255 663) and provide their NRIC number or ez-link card number and contact number (leave a voice mail if calling after operating hours). The lost card will be invalidated within 48 hours from the time of the report.

For security reasons, the loss report is irreversible once it is lodged in our system and the card, even if found, would no longer be usable. Hence, card holders are advised to search thoroughly for the card before making the loss report.

Please take note that the invalidation is only for transit use of the card. The concession card holder is responsible for informing The National Library Board (NLB) of the lost concession card. Please call NLB’s helpdesk at 6332 3255.
