Which bank card can take MRT?

Commuters can use their contactless bank cards (Mastercard, NETS and VISA) or Mastercard/Visa cards added to the mobile wallet# for fare payments, eliminating the need for top-ups or carry a separate travel card. They may also use their SimplyGo EZ-Link cards or SimplyGo Concession cards to pay their transit fares.
