#GCashTipidTips: DOTr-mandated 50% discounted MRT-3 fares can be availed via GCash

Commuting just got more affordable for Filipinos. With the new 50% fare discount on Metro Rail Transit Line 3, passengers can now enjoy lower travel costs while going cashless using the GCash app.

From QR to NFC and card payments, commuters can skip long lines and head straight to the platform. It is a simple upgrade that makes daily travel faster, more convenient, and easier on the wallet.

Starting March 23, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) has implemented a discounted fare matrix for single-journey tickets, stored-value cards, and cashless payments in response to rising consumer prices.

Passengers of Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) can easily avail of the discounted fare via the GCash app by using the GCash Commute QR, NFC-enabled Android phone, or GCash Visa card. Commuters can skip the ticketing booth lines and go directly to the platforms, making travel more convenient and seamless.

The GCash payment schemes have been up and running at MRT-3 since July last year, providing commuters with cashless options for their daily travels.

The goal is simple: to make everyday transactions more affordable, accessible, and seamless for Filipinos.
