MRT TxtRide

I know I am late for this one, but as the cliche says: "better be late than never".

Before I am riding on the MRT towards the office, but now i'm riding on a bus. It was by an accident to ride again in the MRT this morning because of that f***ing driver. While i'm in the queue waiting for my turn, I wander around the Taft Station I saw this ads "MRT Ticket Mo Nasa Cellphone Na (MRT Ticket is Now on Your Cellphone....hehehehe)". Yes, it is true! This is another innovation in ticketing service of MRT after G-Pass.

The project was developed by Omniprime Marketing Inc. (OMI) which caters Mobile Solutions for various companies.

MRT TxtRide uses 2D Barcode to swipe into barcode reader. This is will serve as your ticket in the station. As for now, it only caters North to Taft Station and vice versa.

Anyways, this is only applicable in the Philippines.

For more details on this innovation see the image below...
