I’ve long been offered to get my very own Beep Card so that it
would be more convenient for me to ride the MRT. With the long queue each day
going south bound for the MRT, it would really be easier if I’d get myself my
very own Beep Card, it saves time and money. But then, since I’m a PWD (persons
with disability) myself, I’ve decided to get myself the white Beep Card with my
name on it rather than the usual blue colored Beep Card.
The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) encourages PWDs and
Senior Citizens to apply for the special, discounted beep cards which can be
used at LRT Line 1,2, and 3 (MRT) and at the Ayala BGC Bus Stations. PWDs and
Senior Citizens as we all know are granted a 20-percent fare discount.
The special discount cards aren’t that different from ordinary
beep cards except for the special chip embedded in the special beep card which will
has the personal data of the beep card user (PWD and senior citizen) appear in
the system.
Step 1: Get the Concessionary Card Application form from any LRT
or MRT station.
Step 2: Fill up the application form.
Step 3: Prepare a photocopy of your PWD ID or Senior Citizen ID.
It would be best to photocopy at least two government ID.
Step 4: Submit your filled up Concessionary Card Application
form at the same LRT or MRT station where you got the said form.
Step 5: Keep the Concessionary Card Application Claim Stub.
Step 6: Wait for 7-10 working days.
Step 7: Personally claim your Personalized PWD/Senior Citizen’s
Beep Card from the same LRT/MRT station where you had applied.
Step 8: An MRT/LRT personnel will accompany you and be ready to
pay P100 for the card and P80 worth load card credits.
Step 9: Be ready to tap your personalized and discounted
specially chipped PWD/Senior Citizen Beep Card!
Step 10: Enjoy the ride!
Since the said beep cards are unified, it can be used in all
LRT-1, LRT2- and MRT (LRT3) stations as well as the BGC bus station. The
PWD/Senior Citizen personalized beep card costs P100 (P20 is for the card alone
while it’s loaded with P80) and it’s valid for four years. It can be reloaded
for as low as P13 to as high as P12,000.

ReplyDeleteDapat po kasi talaga kayo ang mag-fill up nung application form (hingi lang po yung pamangkin nyo sa MRT), tapos samahan nyo ng authorization letter, kopya ng ID nyo, PWD ID at pictures na 1x1 para po mapagbilhan kayo ng concessionaire card para sa PWD. May kaukulan din pong babayaran para sa ID. At maaari na ninyo itong loadan pagkakuha. pero babalikan nyo pa siya pagkatapos ng 2 linggo.
