Metro Manila, Philippines – In a bid to make travel more convenient and efficient, the Department of Transportation-Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (DOTr-MRT3) has officially launched cashless payments at all train stations. This new initiative follows the successful pilot testing of GCash’s contactless payment option, which is now available across the entire MRT-3 network.
The shift to cashless payments is in response to a directive from the President, aiming to streamline the travel experience for commuters. The move is designed to reduce the time spent on transactions, making daily commutes faster and more hassle-free for MRT-3 passengers.
How the Cashless Payment System Works
Commuters can now easily purchase their single journey tickets at MRT-3 stations using contactless digital payment methods. Passengers can simply visit ticket counters that offer the cashless payment option, eliminating the need for physical cash. This improvement will also reduce long queues and speed up the overall ticketing process.
By adopting this cashless payment system, MRT-3 aims to offer a seamless and modernized experience for riders, aligning with ongoing efforts to enhance public transportation across the country.
This development is part of the Department of Transportation’s ongoing commitment to improving transportation services nationwide, ensuring that Filipino commuters enjoy a smoother, more efficient journey every day.
