Beep Card

[LOLZ]

sa HK,
octopus card is 150 HKD, of which 100 is for rides and purchases, and 50 is for the card itself that is refundable naman upon surrender.
and the "charge" lasts at least 2 years.
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?

Not sure on the Bus only Beep Rides but the regular beep card have an expiry of two years with an option to renew for another year for 10 pesos. Card issuance and recharge in lrt/mrt could be done with either kiosks or the regular teller(if you want change for large bills).

To LOLZ,

may sticker nakalagay ngayon.

"Bayanihan Card, Ayuda mula sa ayala at metro pacific"

I think that's only for 100k cards but hopefully by then the gov't has already made arrangement to subsidize the fee to the more reasonable 20/30 pesos that they have been doing with LRT/MRT issued cards since nde naman fair na private lahat gagastos sa project ng gov't.

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..

ung Beep ng LRT gamit na ng ilang P2P buses sa edsa before covid pero dahil walang nirequire na specific na payment system na gamitin ang gov't gumawa ng bago ung ibang operators(beep rides).
