Mr Chee told reporters that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) had “underestimated” the strong preference of some commuters to be able to view the fare deductions and card balances at station gates and bus card readers.
“This was a judgment error on our part, and I apologise to our commuters for what happened.We will learn from this and we will do better in future,” he said at an interview organised for some media outlets.
The minister added that the card-based ticketing (CBT) system for adult commuters will be in place until at least 2030..
