Thanks Gerhard for the FAQ.
Thanks Benjamin for sifting through the info, and providing a nice
brief! Too bad I don't have $475 to get more details ... ;)

Even though it seems speedy, and convenient (not carrying around spare
change), I've never considered about buying an Edy card. Actually I've
been here a year and a half, but don't even know how to get one.
Anyone on the list have an Edy card?

It's amazing what we have available in our phones. My phones got GPS,
and I've been fiddling/experimenting with it through my moblog, but I
haven't actually used it under practical conditions.
It's a chicken and egg situation ... not enough useful tools, not enough users.
