Beep has teamed up with Mastercard to bring another contactless payment in public transport such as Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3), and Edsa and Bonifacio Global City busses.   Through Beep's network, cardholders may use their Mastercard debit, prepaid or credit cards in Philippine public transport without needed to pay for a ticket for entry. We are excited to collaborate with Mastercard to boost the acceptance of contactless payments in transport and further improve commuters’ payments experiences,” said by Beep Chief Executive Officer and President JJ Moreno. This partnership with Beep will help enhance the commuting experience for all Mastercard cardholders. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has rejected proposals to allow carpooling vehicles coordinated through ride-sharing and mobility apps on the EDSA Busway, citing concerns that opening the dedicated lane to private vehicles would degrade the performance of Metro Manila’s primary mass transit corridor. Transportation Secretary Giovanni “Banoy” Lopez said the EDSA Busway was designed as a high-capacity people-moving system, not a shared roadway for private vehicles even those carrying multiple passengers. Operators warned that opening the lane, even partially could return EDSA to pre-Busway congestion levels, negatively affecting both commuters and operators. Commuters along EDSA now have free WiFi at 17 busway stations, thanks to a joint initiative by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
