since we used to HK regularly, i do not bother refunding it. the cards still work when i go back the next year.
i don't have to make pila to that masungit na speak-chinese-only old lady manning the card purchase window at the airport.
heh heh.

is our beep card rechargeable?
sana ganun ginawa nila.. "refundable" para ingatan ng mga riders yung card.. problem is wala naman refund process para sa cards.. tapos yung beep card for MRT is different sa beep card for bus..

kung same cards sana mas ok kasi madami naman bumili ng MRT cards dati.. yun lang NLEX SLEX magkaiba pa ng card eh.. only shows na walang silbi regulators..
