I found the six month thing:

I'm not sure what that means.

Quote:4. The new farebox does not accept paper tickets. During this first phase of the transition to electronic fare payment, a temporary ticket container will be installed on the bus next to the new farebox. Customers paying with paper tickets will show their ticket to the operator and put it in the ticket container. If customers need a transfer, they can push the transfer button to print a transfer.
In the next phase, when the EasyGO Fare Card has been launched, the paper tickets will be gradually phased out. GRT will give customers 6 months' notice when paper tickets will no longer be accepted.
I'm not sure what that means.
