yun po sir gamit for public transpo - ezlink tawag dun. yung gamit nila para sa
express way toll fees (ERP tawag nila sa Singapore) ay in-vehicle units with
preloaded cards.
yun yung device na nasa dashboard ng mga sasakyan na ini-scan lang sa
mga ERP gantries/parking gates - wala nang swipe or tap na kailangan.

On the Move: For Drivers

yan sana implement nila sa pinas.

Just bought an e-pass, 100 yung card lang mismo then 100 minimum load up to kahit magkano gusto mo lagay

Hongkong's octopus card is more efficient. Lagi namang nasa hk ang mga govt officials natin pero di nila mai-propose yun? Or vip packages ang trip nila so no need to ride mtr or taxi or buses? Or wala silang kikitain?

Pag tap mo may led light sa tabi ng barrier, nakalagay dun yung balance. Medyo mataas yung tap machine, kasing taas ng bubong ng kotse. I suggest stop a little near to the left side para di mahirapan mag tap.

IMO, the best way to go about this is to make the card multi-purpose, and not only usable to one company or transaction.
As mentioned, this system has been in use in Singapore, HK and Japan.

Make a an intelligent card that can be used in tollways, LRT, MRT, convenient stores etc.

Later on, it can be used in buses, maybe a bus rapid transit system.
