No longer would you need to dig through your bag at the gantry, riddled with both anxiety levels and the line behind you piling up by the minute. The charms are, after all, easily attached to your phone or wallet so you’ll never have to worry about losing your card again.
There have been plenty of designs available, from chubby Snorlaxes to adorable Tsum Tsums.

The charm comes in a 3D motif of T’Challa’s sleek black-and-white suit, attached to a silver clasp chain. Unlike some of the other EZ-Link charms, this one comes complete with LED lights that flash when you tap it on a reader. It’s also encased in a matching box – so it’ll be a great gift for friends as well.
