In a move to make student travel more affordable and convenient, a new personalized student beep card offering an automatic 50% discount on train fares will be available starting September 15. This initiative directly responds to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive to provide faster and more affordable transportation options for students.
The new student beep cards aim to simplify the commuting process for students by eliminating the need to apply for a discount each time they travel manually. The 50% fare reduction will be automatically applied with every tap, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
To get a student beep card, students simply need to present a valid school ID or a current registration form at designated train stations. The card can be printed and issued on the spot, allowing students to take advantage of the discounted fare immediately.
Each personalized student beep card is valid for one year and can be easily renewed for the next school year. This program is designed to support students throughout their academic journey by easing their financial burden related to daily commutes.
This development marks a significant step forward in improving the public transportation system to better serve the student community. The automatic discount is expected to benefit thousands of students, making their daily travel to and from school more accessible and budget-friendly.
