‘Beep’ cards to be used at all LRT stations starting Sept. 20

The contactless beep card system will be fully operational in all LRT stations starting Sunday, Sept. 20, AF Payments, Inc. and Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) announced In a joint press release on Friday.

 

“Over the past 6 weeks, our technical and operations teams, together with the DOTC and the LRTA, have been working round the clock to complete all equipment installation and end to end testing so that LRT 1 train riders can benefit fully from the beep card and use it on both directions at the soonest possible time.” AF Payments CEO Peter Maher said.

 

The beep card system will put an end to the use of paper coupons as a temporary solution to the recent glitches experienced in the new system.

 

The company is also eyeing to install the beep card system in the MRT-3. — Andrei Medina/JDS, GMA News
