METRO MANILA – Public utility buses (PUB) with routes plying the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (Edsa) will implement a cashless payment starting Thursday (Oct. 1).
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) said in a statement that they will enforce a strict “no Beep card, no ride” policy starting Thursday.
DOTr said that the beep card cashless payment system will pave the way for more seamless and faster transaction as it will improve waiting time and queuing of passengers.
