Mastercard and Beep™ introduced a tap-and-go payment system for BGC buses, allowing commuters to use Mastercard cards for easier fare transactions. This system expands on existing Beep™ QR and card payment options. Mastercard aims to streamline transit and retail payments with this initiative, already successful in cities like London and Singapore. AFPI plans to extend this system to MRT-3 and EDSA buses, contingent on government collaboration and cashless mandates. Foreign tourists also benefit, avoiding the need for Beep™ cards when using public transport.
