Use of Beep Cards on the EDSA Busway

Digitalization is proved to be useful especially in these CoViD-19 times. In public transportation, authorities have long been adapted the use of non-contact payment options such as Beep cards.

We have been reporting the EDSA busway even before it became operational, including new developments as well as controversies that surround the exclusive bus lane even up to this point.

In one of our Facebook posts, Dann Garcia expressed his observation on the implementation of beep cards. According to him, this mode of digitized payment has become optional when the free ride, under the Service Contracting Program, has ended. He added that beep card terminals are either broken or shut down.

Another follower, Floyd Rama, agreed and said that bus conductors or companies seem to not like the idea of Beep cards. Kamil Miskeen, on the other hand, said that busway is okay for private drivers but not for bus operators and commuters.

Now that we are in the new normal, it is only fitting for services to be more convenient, safe, and comfortable for its consumers, including public transportation. We hope to hear from concerned transport officials on what they intend to do or improve on the EDSA busway system.
