New EMV-only fare gates in the MRT Blue Line. I like the convenience of using a card I already have but I hate how slow it is to process at the gate* and how slow account settlement is**. * compared to Japan’s IC cards where you basically breeze through and the gates stay open ** hard to track cost

Two exit gates only for Visa and Mastercard. Two exit gates for all cards and tokens. Close up of new gates with thin flaps. One is wide.

I switched back from open-loop to a stored value card in part because of settlement times.
