The Department of Transportation (DOTr) and fintech app GCash have introduced QRPH cashless payments at all 13 stations of MRT-3, giving commuters an easier way to buy single-journey tickets.
Passengers can now use their e-wallets or bank apps to scan and pay using the national QR code standard, QRPH. This allows for smoother transactions at ticket booths without the need for cash.
“By embracing cashless systems, we are not just modernizing, we are revolutionizing how Filipinos move,” said Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon.
The cashless ticketing option is expected to benefit more than 350,000 daily MRT-3 commuters by reducing long queues and speeding up payment at stations.
“By working hand in hand with the Department of Transportation, we are simplifying commutes and empowering Filipinos through accessible and secure digital payment solutions,” said Oscar Enrico Reyes Jr., president and CEO of G-Xchange Inc., the company behind GCash.
Commuters simply need to look for ticket booths that accept QRPH payments to use the service.
