Written Reply by Minister for Transport Ong Ye Kung to Parliamentary Question on Reasons Carparks Not Upgrading Their Systems to Accept Specification for Contactless E-Purse Application Cards

Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Minister for Transport


a.     how many car parks do not accept CEPAS (Specification for Contactless e-Purse Application) cards; and 


b.     what are the reasons why these car park operators do not upgrade their systems to accept CEPAS cards.

 

Reply by Minister for Transport Ong Ye Kung:


1.     Out of some 3,300 carparks that use the Electronic Parking System, only one does not accept CEPAS cards for payment. This is a decision by the carpark owner, who chooses which payment modes to accept, taking into account factors such as cost and motorist experience.
