How much is the MRT card in Singapore?

How much is an EZ-Link card? An EZ-Link card which is sold at SimplyGo Ticket Offices, Concession Card Replacement Offices, SimplyGo Ticketing Service Centres, Passenger Service Centres and 7-Eleven, each costs $10, out of which $5 is stored-value for use. The remaining $5 is the cost of the card and is non-refundable.



In 2026, the standard EZ-Link card in Singapore costs $10.00 SGD. This price includes a $5.00 non-refundable card cost and $5.00 in initial stored value that you can use immediately for travel. You can purchase these cards at Changi Airport, MRT stations, and convenience stores like 7-Eleven. For tourists who plan to do a lot of sightseeing, the Singapore Tourist Pass is an alternative, costing about $22 SGD for 1 day, $29 SGD for 2 days, or $34 SGD for 3 days, offering unlimited travel on basic bus and train services. If you prefer not to buy a physical card, Singapore's SimplyGo system allows you to use your own contactless credit card, debit card, or mobile wallet (Apple/Google Pay) directly at the gantries for the same fare as an EZ-Link card. Fares are distance-based: a short trip up to 3.2km costs about $1.28 SGD, while the longest possible cross-island journeys max out around $2.57 SGD. You can easily top up a physical card using the EZ-Link app or at General Ticketing Machines. Regardless of which "card" you use, the MRT remains the most efficient and cost-effective way to navigate the island, with trains arriving every 2 to 5 minutes during peak hours.
