JOHOR BAHRU – June 22, 2022 —Travelling between Malaysia and Singapore is set to become easier for the daily commuters who will soon be able to tap their Visa contactless cards to ride on Causeway Link buses. With cross-border commute gaining momentum, Visa and Handal Indah recognise the importance of enabling consumers with a seamless and convenient payment experience when they take public transportation.

In partnership with Handal Indah Sdn Bhd (which operates Causeway Link), the largest public bus service provider in Johor Bahru, Visa will introduce the first-of-its-kind open-loop contactless payments acceptance on more than 100 Causeway Link buses travelling cross-border. The solution has been piloted on three selected local routes since September 2021 and this will be rolled out to more routes by Q2 this year. In tandem with Causewaylink's cashless payment initiative, the solution will first be enabled for cross border bus services between Malaysia and Singapore, and at later phase will be enabled for local routes operated by Causeway Link within Johor Bahru including the myBAS SBST programme. Approximately 400 contactless payment terminals will be installed and all Causeway Link buses will eventually be powered with contactless acceptance.
