Cashless Transition 2026 – Complete Guide (5 Essential Tips)


As we move towards a fully cashless in the near future, this change is aimed at improving boarding efficiency and ensuring faster, smoother journeys for everyone. To help you prepare, here are 5 essential tips every commuter should know:
Tip 1: Get Your Payment Ready
Have your preferred payment ready before boarding — either a ManjaLink card or a bank card. All Visa or Mastercard credit, debit, and prepaid cards are accepted.
You can also link your card to Apple Pay or Google Pay for contactless payment.
Being prepared ensures a smooth, hassle-free tap when the cashless date begins.

Tip 2: Tap & Ask
Try tapping your card to make sure it works. If it doesn’t or you’re unsure what to do, ask the driver or on-ground staff, they’re there to help, so you can travel with confidence.

Tip 3: Tap-In Only (Selected Routes)
For cross-border routes, you only need to tap in when boarding as the tap-out step is not required. Remember to tap again each time you re-board the bus after clearing customs.

Tip 4: Always Have a Spare
Technical hiccups happen, so it’s smart to be prepared. Always carry a different brand card as a backup so that even if something goes wrong with your main card, your journey stays uninterrupted.

Tip 5: One Card Per Person
Sharing is not allowed. For group travel, every passenger must use their own individual card to pay for their fare.
