Ok,
I am now using the EZ-Link card with auto-top up in my IU and so far it works very well.
The card is accepted at all ERP gates and many car parks.
I am keeping my old cash card in the glove compartment for use in carparks that don't accept the "Cepas" standard, but I didn't have to use the cash card last week at all!
Basically it works like this:
The required amount is deducted from your EZ-link card, if the stored value isn't enough to pay the charges it will get topped up with your pre-set top up amount.
It was really strange to drive into a car park with only $0.60 left in the card. Even stranger to drive to the exit gate! But then the unit beeped twice, the new balance was shown as $48.95, and the gate opened.
Every ERP gate and every carpark that has the 'CEPAS' logo will be able to use your EZ-Link card and trigger a top-up if needed.
I looked into the vNets cash card, but it only works at ERP gates, not carparks.
I checked also into the Motorpay offer from DBS, but it also only works with ERP gates and they charge a monthly fee.
Ok, hope this will help someone.
Best'
