Approach / Ideas

Reduce hassle of queuing and wasting time in front of the top-up machine,
which becomes the cause of delay to personal activities.

Now passengers can do multiple top-ups via the EZ-link app
and will be notified of any insufficient funds from their own and
family members’ transit card.
