KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- The EZ-Link app will stop working in Singapore from 8 January 2026
- All key features have already moved to the SimplyGo app
- Switching is free — one sync, no data loss, no new account needed
From 8 January 2026, the EZ-Link app will be fully discontinued in Singapore.
No big shock though — this has been quietly happening for a while now.
Why the EZ-Link App Is Being Switched Off
This is basically a tidy-up move.
Since September 2024, almost every EZ-Link app feature has already been rebuilt inside the SimplyGo app.
The official phase-out started on 10 December 2025.
By 8 January 2026, the EZ-Link app will stop working completely.
For most Singaporeans, it just means one transport app instead of two. Less clutter, honestly.
EZ-Link App vs SimplyGo App: What’s Different?
On paper, the apps look similar — but SimplyGo does more.
Here’s a quick breakdown.
| Feature | EZ-Link App (Ending) | SimplyGo App (Active) |
|---|---|---|
| Manage travel cards | Yes | Yes |
| Top up cards | Yes | Yes |
| View trip & fare history | Yes | Yes |
| EZ-Link wallet payments | Limited | Yes (SG + overseas) |
| Mastercard payments | No | Yes |
| SGQR support | No | Yes |
| Works after 8 Jan 2026 | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
Bottom line?
SimplyGo replaces everything — and adds more.
What You Need to Do Before 8 January 2026
Good news: this part is easy.
If you already have an EZ-Link account:
- Download the SimplyGo app
- Log in using your existing EZ-Link account
- Complete a one-time sync
That’s all.
Your cards, profile, and settings will transfer automatically.
No need to create a new account.
What If You Don’t Sync in Time?
No panic.
If you don’t sync your account before the deadline:
- Your EZ-Link account will become dormant
- Your cards are not deleted
- You can still recover everything later by syncing to SimplyGo
That said, you may temporarily lose access to app features.
Better to do it early and save yourself the hassle.
What Can You Do With the SimplyGo App?
Once everything is synced, SimplyGo becomes your all-in-one travel tool.
You can:
- Top up EZ-Link and supported travel cards
- Track MRT and bus fares in real time
- View trip history clearly
- Pay locally and overseas using Mastercard
- Use SGQR via the EZ-Link wallet
For daily commuting, it covers everything most people actually use.
No need to overthink.
