EZ Link Matters

Do note of some of the important things that you must be aware of regarding your new EZ Link cards.

The old EZ Link cards allowed their stored balance to reach a negative value. ie. You tap the EZ link card on the reader when it has only 20 cents left and the new balance becomes negative 25 cents. This is because there is a hidden $1 deposit in the old EZ Link card.

The new EZ Link cards no longer hide that $1 deposit. You will have noticed that your EZ Link card balance went up by $1. That's because the $1 deposit has been revealed from its hiding place. What does this mean? The stored balance CANNOT go below 0 cents to a negative value. So you have top up when the value goes below 50 cents. 

Regarding the ERP logo on the back of the card, your new EZ link card is ONLY compatible with the newest generation ERP card readers only started circulation this month. So unless you've just gotten a new car, it won't work. 

And don't ignore the class tee design competition. Keep the designs coming into the chairmen.
