Soon, our cellular phones could buy Metro Rail Transit (MRT) tickets.
BusinessWorld’s Saturday online edition released an article stating that the MRT would launch a mobile ticketing (m-ticket) system to cut long queues at train stations.
Under the mobile ticketing system, cell phone users should register by sending a text message to 2660. Subscribers would be charged 3% more than the regular magnetic cards.
A registered subscriber shall receive a two-dimensional (2D) barcode via SMS. All train stations would be installed with scanning devices that would read the barcode.
The devices at the Taft and North Ave. stations would be operational by Monday, according to the report.
