“beep first launched QR ticketing in 2019 to provide a smart solution where both operators and commuters enjoy efficiency and convenience. It was initially designed to replace the manual validation of paper tickets, but now in this evolving pandemic situation, QR technology offers a safer alternative to help the commuting public observe health protocols. AF Payments Inc. will continue to actively roll out QR payment in other transportation networks like EDSA buses and modern jeepneys all over the country. We wish to replicate the system across the country through collaborations with businesses,” Fong said.
