For most Pinoy commuters and the workforce, the BGC Bus is one of the best ways to get around Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig, with different bus routes operating daily. It is a cheaper way of commuting to the metro’s financial hub at just PHP15 per ride. While a common mode of payment is the beep card, a new option is now being tested: the TRIPKO card. Here’s everything you need to know about it:

What is the TRIPKO card?

The TRIPKO card is a cashless payment method that uses a reloadable card for bus or modern jeepney rides. It is also a digital wallet, and you can load up to PHP5000 to cover your daily commute. Additionally, the TRIPKO card serves as a loyalty card, offering various rewards and cashback for users.

The TRIPKO card for the BGC Bus is still in a trial run until April 29, 2026, so make sure to follow TRIPKO online for updates.

How can I get a TRIPKO card?

If you’re a commuter from the metro who frequently uses buses and modern jeepneys in your daily commute, a TRIPKO card is a good option to have, especially if you don’t want to handle cash.

The TRIPKO card is FREE for first-time users and is available at kiosks, terminals, and other partner merchants. To top up, you only need to pay for the load amount and tap.

If you lose your card or simply want an extra one, it costs only PHP 150 to get another.

Is it different from the beep card?

Yes, the TRIPKO card is different from the beep card. They are different cards managed by different companies. The beep card is the more popular cashless payment primarily used in public transportation in the metro, such as LRT, MRT, P2P buses, and BGC buses, while the TRIPKO card is used for provincial buses and modern jeepneys.

Is it worth it to get a TRIPKO bus card?

If you’re someone who utilizes provincial buses and modern jeepneys in your daily commute, getting one should be worth it! Moreover, if you’re looking for other modes of payment for the BGC Bus, then getting another reloadable card might be for you.
