TERTIARY STUDENTS CAN CONTINUE TO USE THE TERTIARY STUDENT EZ-LINK CARD AFTER GRADUATION - 16 June 2006

Singapore – Tertiary students graduating this year can continue to use the Tertiary Student ez-link card after graduation.

Users should check the validity period or expiry date of their cards at any TransitLink Ticket Office, Add Value Machine or General Ticketing Machine. When the expiry date is approaching, the card user may request to extend the card validity by calling TransitLink Hotline at 1800-CALL ONE (1800-2255 663) in the last month of expiry.

The validity of the card can be extended until the full life span of the card is reached. During this period, the Tertiary Student ez-link card can be used to pay for transportation needs at adult fare rates, although monthly concession pass cannot be encoded.

Due to limitation in the system, the cards can only be extended for successive periods of 511 days (or about 1 year and 5 months) from the expiry of their concession eligibility. Tertiary students must re-validate their cards in the last month of every 511 days until the card reaches its full 5 years. If the card is not re-extended by the cardholder, the card will expire and cannot be re-validated. Then, they can apply for deferred refund on the remaining value of the expired card at any TransitLink Ticket Office.

For more information on the Tertiary Student ez-link card extension, students can log on to TransitLink website www.transitlink.com.sg or call toll-free TransitLink Hotline at 1800-CALL ONE (1800-2255 663).
