MRT Supports Unending Innovations for Modern Technology in Mass Transport Systems
We all know that one solution to avoid traffic and reduce fuel cost is to ride the Metro Rail Transit or MRT. MRT is the most practical and economical mass transport system in our country today. It is also the fastest and most convenient way to travel from North Avenue to Taft Avenue or vice versa.
The government, through the MRT management, is continuously looking for ways to adopt modern technologies for mass transport use. It all started when MRT publicly launched its alternative payment system using G-Pass/mCash which became the first mobile integrated payment platform in the country. With this technology, a passenger may not need to buy the usual ticket to ride the MRT.
Recently, more alternatives in paying for MRT rides were launched through the AXS Contactless Card, mCash Blue Contactless Card— and by November 17 to 19, 2008— the AXS Contactless Card KIT KAT Edition.
Similar to Hongkong’s Octopus Card, the ‘AXS Card KIT KAT Edition’ can be repeatedly used by passengers in riding MRT and can be conveniently reloaded like an ‘e-Wallet’.
The AXS Card KIT KAT Edition is available for 50 pesos with 35 pesos pre-loaded amount and FREE 17 gram KIT KAT wafers coated with milk chocolate— starting November 17, 2008, inside the MRT stations. The AXS Card KIT KAT Edition can be used immediately upon purchase by tapping the card to any mCash readers found on top of the turnstiles. By tapping the card to the “Free Balance Inquiry” machines within the stations, users would be able to retrieve the balance information inside the card.
The launching of the AXS Card KIT KAT Edition for use in MRT is part of the Sustainable Alternative Ticketing System or SATS Program of DOTC-MRT3.
The objective of the program is to look for alternative ways in paying for transport fares so that the government can provide fast, economical, and convenient service to MRT passengers.
AXS Card KIT KAT Edition is powered by mCash and reloadable thru VMobile LoadXtreme.
