Cashless Train Rides Coming to Metro Manila in July

Metro Manila's Public Transportation Modernization: Cashless Payments Arrive in July Metro Manila commuters can look forward to a smoother and more efficient travel experience starting this July, with the implementation of a cashless payment system across all LRT and MRT train stations. This initiative, spearheaded by the Department of Transportation (DOTr), aims to modernize the city's public transport system and alleviate the long queues often associated with purchasing tickets. "It's good news," says Rezy Mindo, a daily commuter, "because it will be much easier to pay, and there will be less hassle." Another commuter, RJ Ronquillo, added, "It's good news, especially during COVID or other times when you want to avoid handling cash." The cashless system will accept various payment methods, including e-wallets, debit, and credit cards. This move is expected to significantly reduce waiting times and improve the overall commuting experience for millions of people in Metro Manila, contributing to a more efficient and modern public transport system. The DOTr's initiative is a step towards a more convenient and secure public transportation system for all.
