Clark Development Corporation (CDC) has teamed up with AF Payments, Inc. (AFPI) to introduce cashless bus rides on the Clark Loop route using an automated fare collection system.
The Clark Loop bus service covering 25 stops from SM City Clark to the Clark International Airport caters to employees, visitors, and tourists within the Clark Freeport Zone. By adopting beep™ card or beep™ QR tickets as exclusive modes of payment, the Clark Loop has eliminated cash handling, offering a faster, safer, and more efficient public transportation experience.
“We want to showcase a disciplined transport system in Clark, and this government-led pilot will help us refine the service before allowing private sector involvement. We are starting with 10 buses on the Clark Loop. It’s cashless, with Wi-Fi, GPS, and it runs on time. Our aim is to influence passenger behavior, emphasizing discipline and punctuality,” CDC president Agnes VST Devanadera said.
Jonathan Juan Moreno, AF Payments president and chief executive said the shift to cashless payment systems is not just about modernizing public transportation, it is about improving the lives of commuters. beep s cashless payment solution not only enhances passenger experience but also reduces operational inefficiencies and supports sustainable urban development.
“We hope this initiative in Clark encourages other cities to adopt similar systems as part of a broader nationwide effort to modernize public transportation,” he added.
The relaunch of Clark Loop as the first fully cashless bus system in Central Luzon further demonstrates beep’s capability to deliver seamless, modern payment solutions at scale.
Clark Loop’s integration into AFPI’s network now benefits millions of beep users by offering seamless connectivity across different transport systems.
