Cashless Payments Coming to Philippine LRT and MRT Stations

The Philippines is set to modernize its public transportation system with the implementation of a cashless payment system in all LRT and MRT stations starting July 2025. This initiative, spearheaded by the Department of Transportation (DOTr), aims to reduce long queues and improve efficiency for millions of daily commuters. The video shows commuters smoothly using e-wallets, debit, and credit cards at the fare gates. "This is a significant step towards a more modern and efficient public transportation system," said a DOTr representative. The new system is expected to ease congestion and improve the overall commuting experience, making travel more convenient for Filipinos. The DOTr is committed to ensuring a smooth transition and providing support to passengers during the changeover period. This modernization project is a positive step towards improving the lives of commuters in the Philippines.
