Central News Agency (CNA, reporter Chen Yu-ting, Taipei, July 3rd) EasyCard Corporation announced today that starting immediately, EasyCard co-branded cards, debit cards, and account-linked EasyCards used on buses in Taipei and New Taipei City can automatically top up NT$500, eliminating concerns about insufficient balance. However, the public is reminded that the automatic top-up process on bus fare machines takes approximately 3 to 5 seconds, so please hold your card to the reader for a moment. EasyCard Corporation issued a press release today stating that EasyCard co-branded cards, debit cards, and account-linked EasyCards now support automatic top-up services. When taking Taipei City's joint bus routes and New Taipei City's urban bus routes, if the EasyCard balance falls below NT$100, the fare machine will automatically add NT$500 and complete the deduction, so the public will no longer have to worry about insufficient balance. EasyCard Corporation reminds the public that the automatic top-up process on bus fare machines takes approximately 3 to 5 seconds. Please hold your card to the reader for a moment until the fare machine indicates that the top-up is complete before removing your card, to ensure the transaction is completed smoothly. If the automatic top-up is not completed due to the card being moved too quickly or other factors, EasyCard Corporation stated that as long as the top-up actually fails, no charges will be made to the bank, and the transaction will not appear on your credit card statement, so the public need not worry about being charged. The Taipei City Department of Transportation stated that in addition to EasyCard, co-branded credit cards, debit cards, and account-linked cards from iPASS and iCash also support automatic top-up starting today. When the public encounters insufficient card balance, they no longer need to go to MRT stations or convenience stores to top up, enhancing convenience and making daily commutes smoother. (Editor: Yang
