Commuters who take the BGC Bus to and from Bonifacio Global City can now use the QR code system to pay for their fares after it was implemented by\u00a0AF Payments Inc., the company that modernized payment and ticketing in transportation through beep\u2122<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A QR code<\/strong> (abbreviated from\u00a0Quick Response\u00a0Code) is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information that can be read rapidly by a QR reader, thereby allowing quick passenger validation and entry into the paid or boarding areas.<\/p>\n

How it works<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to using the beep\u2122 card, commuters now have the option to buy QR code-based tickets<\/strong> that the commuter will scan before boarding the bus or ferry.<\/p>\n

The new system will replace manually validated paper ticketing to ensure quicker validation and hassle-free commuter experience.<\/p>\n

Additionally, passengers can also use the\u00a0GCash mobile app<\/strong> to pay their fare. To pay, open the GCash app on your smartphone, choose Pay QR, generate your own QR code, and scan the QR code on the beep QR Reader.<\/p>\n

Your QR ticket will automatically print and the fare will be deducted from your GCash account.<\/p>\n

It is good to note that the technology used for this system is locally developed by Filipinos. Joey Lim, chairman of the Board of AF Payments, Inc. describes this as a new era in transport ticketing, which they hope to be replicated in other parts of the country.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a smart solution where both operators and commuters enjoy the efficiency and ease of use associated with QR technology,\u201c he added.<\/p>\n

The QR code transport ticketing system is implemented in\u00a0Cebu-based Topline Express Ferries <\/strong>as well. Further, AF Payments Inc.\u00a0is planning to roll out QR ticketing to other partner buses in Metro Manila in the coming months.<\/p>\n
