DOTr, GCash launch QRPH cashless payments at MRT-3 stations

The Department of Transportation has launched cashless payments at the 13 stations of the MRT-3, in line with its mandate of providing train passengers with a more convenient and faster commute.

In collaboration with the Philippines’ leading finance Super App GCash, passengers can now make cashless QR payments using any e-wallet or bank via QRPH when purchasing single-journey tickets at MRT-3 stations.

“This is a turning point for public transportation in the Philippines. By embracing cashless systems, we are not just modernizing—we are revolutionizing how Filipinos move. This partnership between the public and private sector is in compliance with the President’s directive to provide faster, safer, and more convenient travel for every Filipino,” Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon said.

With over 350,000 daily commuters expected to benefit, this initiative facilitates faster payments across the key system of the MRT-3.

Oscar Enrico Reyes, Jr., President and CEO of G-Xchange, Inc., the mobile wallet operator of GCash, said, “By working hand in hand with the Department of Transportation, we are simplifying commutes and empowering Filipinos through accessible and secure digital payment solutions. Together, we are shaping a more connected and digitally-enabled Philippines.”

To experience convenient and more secure payments for their MRT-3 commute, passengers can just look for ticket counters that offer QRPH cashless options when purchasing their single journey tickets.

The DOTr is working closely with the private sector along with GCash in providing MRT-3 passengers with more convenient payment options for faster and more seamless travel experience.
