Here’s a quick way on how to reload your Beep Card online.
Launched in 2015 as a new contactless card payments system, it became the primary transportation method for Metro Manila train lines (LRT-1, LRT-2, and MRT-3), as well as secondary payments for other transportation modes (P2P buses, e-Trikes in Intramuros, Manila) and retail establishments (including, but not limited to, Wendy’s, FamilyMart, Robinsons Movieworld).
Beep has also been expanded in use and is now used in schools, such as in St. Jude Catholic School. They are the first to allow its faculty, staff and Grades 6 to 12 students to purchase cash-free from merchants inside the campus and avail student discounts in PUVs accepting beep cards.
