Commuters line up to recharge or purchase new Beep Cards in the city of Caloocan on the first day of the EDSA Bus Carousel’s implementation of a ‘No Beep Card, No Ride’ policy on Thursday as part of efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19. The long lines greeted travelers at various bus stops, as they were required to buy the cards costing P180 each, with an initial charge of P100, to ride the buses. The cost forced some travelers to find alternative means of getting to their destinations, as several Filipinos have yet to recover from the financial hit caused by the pandemic.
