Until September 30, the total cost of a new beep card with load will be P 50 from the previous total amount of P 100. The cost of the beep card itself remains at P 30, but the minimum load required for new beep card purchases has been reduced to P 20 from the previous amount of P 70. Passengers may avail of this special offer at LRT-1 teller booths only. Beep cards have a validity of four years, which is subject to extension upon request at the LRT-1 stations.

“We are launching this initiative to make beep card more accessible, more affordable for budget-conscious passengers. Through this promo, they can now buy a reloadable Stored Value Card (SVC) or beep at half of the previous total cost of new beep card with load. This aligns with LRMC’s Tap2Ride campaign which aims to promote the use of contactless transactions in LRT-1 for safety and convenience,” LRMC Head of Corporate Communications and Customer Relations Jacqueline S. Gorospe said.

“Aside from safer and faster travel, passengers can enjoy a wide range of benefits when they use beep such as discounted LRT-1 fares which can mean savings for commuters. There are more ways now to reload their beep cards such as Ticket Vending Machines, beep loading machines, and LRT-1 merchant loading kiosks—all located in LRT-1 stations. They can also use beep as e-money to purchase food or services from select LRT-1 merchants,” Gorospe added.
