If you are a fan of classic stories, charming illustrations or simply enjoy collecting unique EZ-Link cards, there is a new SimplyGo promotion in Singapore that may be worth checking out. Starting from 18 September 2026, SimplyGo is making The Little Prince EZ-Link card available progressively at selected SimplyGo vending machines across MRT stations and bus interchanges.

The card is priced at just $10 each and comes with $5 top-up value included. That means part of what you are paying already goes towards stored travel value, while the card itself can become a little keepsake for fans of one of the world’s most recognisable literary stories.

For collectors, this is the sort of release that can be particularly appealing because it combines something practical with something nostalgic. Rather than buying a souvenir that simply sits on a shelf, an EZ-Link card can be part of everyday travel while also featuring a design inspired by The Little Prince.

A Little Prince collectible for fans

The Little Prince, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, has remained popular across generations because of its memorable characters, imaginative world and thoughtful messages about life, friendship and relationships. Its distinctive artwork and storytelling have also made the book particularly recognisable, even among people who may not have read the complete story.

This new EZ-Link card takes inspiration from that much-loved world and turns it into something that Singapore commuters can collect.

At $10, with $5 of top-up value included, the promotion gives fans an opportunity to pick up the card without paying the sort of premium that collectors sometimes encounter for specially designed merchandise.

Of course, availability may vary because the cards are being introduced progressively at SimplyGo vending machines. So, if you are hoping to get one, it is worth checking the vending machine locations rather than assuming every station will have the card immediately.

Where can you get the card?

The Little Prince EZ-Link card will be available progressively through SimplyGo vending machines located across MRT stations and bus interchanges in Singapore.

Because the release is being rolled out progressively, the most useful thing to do before heading out specifically for the card is to check the official list of SimplyGo vending machine locations.

This can help you plan your trip around a convenient MRT station or bus interchange rather than travelling somewhere only to discover that a particular machine does not yet have the card available.

Why should you consider getting it?

There are several reasons why this promotion could be interesting, especially for regular public transport users and collectors.

First, the card is not just a decorative item. The $10 purchase includes $5 in top-up value, giving the card some immediate practical use. If you already rely on public transport for commuting, travelling around Singapore or getting to work and school, that makes the purchase a little more useful than a typical collectible.

Second, The Little Prince has a timeless appeal. The story has been enjoyed by children and adults for decades, and its illustrations have become almost as recognisable as the story itself. A themed EZ-Link card can therefore make a nice addition to a collection of books, character merchandise, travel cards or other limited-edition items.

There is also the simple enjoyment of carrying something different. Most transport cards are designed primarily for convenience, so a character-themed card can add a little personality to an otherwise ordinary part of the daily commute.

For fans who already collect special-edition transport cards, this release could also be one to look out for. Collectible cards are often appreciated not only because of their immediate usefulness but also because of their design and connection to a particular campaign or theme.

A small treat for your daily commute

Not every good bargain needs to be a major shopping event. Sometimes, a small purchase that combines usefulness and personal interest can be just as enjoyable.

Imagine tapping through an MRT gantry with a card featuring The Little Prince instead of using an ordinary-looking transport card. It is a small detail, but that is precisely what makes themed cards fun. They can turn something routine into a more personal experience.

The $5 top-up value also means that buyers are not spending the entire $10 purely on the collectible aspect. Half of the stated purchase price is already provided as travel value, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.

For someone who already uses public transport regularly, this can make the card easier to justify as both a collectible and a functional item.

A possible gift idea too

If you know someone who loves The Little Prince, this EZ-Link card could also make a simple and thoughtful gift.

It does not have to be a birthday or special occasion. A small themed item can be a nice surprise for a friend, family member, colleague or fellow collector. The combination of a familiar literary character and everyday transport use gives it a different appeal from ordinary character merchandise.

It may also be particularly suitable for someone who enjoys collecting Singapore-exclusive or travel-related items.

That said, collectors should keep in mind that availability is dependent on the progressive rollout, so it is sensible to check the official vending machine information before making a special trip.

Check before you travel

The promotion begins on 18 September 2026 and continues from that date, with the cards being made available progressively.

Since there is no single venue stated for the entire promotion, the important point is that the cards can be found through SimplyGo vending machines across MRT stations and bus interchanges, subject to availability.

It is therefore worth using the provided vending machine location list to identify a convenient location. If you are already passing through an MRT station or bus interchange, checking the relevant vending machine could be an easy way to look for the card without making an additional journey.

As with any promotional or collectible release, terms and conditions apply, and availability may be subject to stock.

A charming collectible at $10

Overall, the SimplyGo The Little Prince EZ-Link card is an interesting option for commuters who also happen to enjoy collecting character-themed items. At $10 per card with $5 top-up value included, it combines a practical transport function with the nostalgic appeal of one of the world’s best-known stories.

The progressive availability means collectors may need to be a little more proactive about finding one, but that can also make the search part of the fun.

If The Little Prince is a story that has a special place in your collection, or if you simply enjoy picking up unique Singapore transport cards, this is a promotion worth keeping in mind from 18 September 2026 onwards.

And while you are looking for the card, there is one question worth asking: what is your favourite quote from The Little Prince?
