A little attitude is joining the daily commute. SimplyGo has introduced new Hello Kitty And Friends x The Powerpuff Girls EZ-Link charms<\/strong>, pairing Buttercup and Kuromi in a crossover that feels particularly fitting for these two spirited characters.<\/p>\n

Priced at S$14.90 each, with no top-up value included<\/strong>, the charms are being rolled out progressively at SimplyGo vending machines in malls across Singapore.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Buttercup and Kuromi Swap Style Notes<\/h2>\n

The collection features two designs with a coordinated green-and-black look. Kuromi wears a green outfit inspired by Buttercup, while the Powerpuff Girl borrows Kuromi\u2019s signature pointed hood, complete with a green skull motif.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Both characters appear in seated poses, with matching white straps completing the charms. For fans of either series, it is a playful way to bring a favourite character along for the ride.<\/p>\n

Where to Find the New EZ-Link Charms<\/h2>\n

The charms will be available progressively at all SimplyGo vending machines in malls<\/strong>, so availability may differ between locations during the rollout.<\/p>\n

Shoppers can find the machines at the following spots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Buying a Charm from the Vending Machine<\/h2>\n

To make a purchase, select the desired charm on the screen, tap the purchase button and choose a payment method. Hold the payment card or device still against the reader until all the green lights are lit before removing it.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Each transaction dispenses one product only<\/strong>. Once the charm drops into the collection compartment, retrieve it within 60 seconds<\/strong>, as the door will lock automatically.<\/p>\n

Top Up to Activate Before Linking to the App<\/h2>\n

There is one more step before the new travel companion is ready for duty: activate the charm by topping it up at a ticketing service kiosk before pairing it with the SimplyGo app<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since the purchase price does not include any stored value, commuters will need to budget for that initial top-up too. After that, Buttercup or Kuromi can take over tapping duties on the next journey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
