Apple Pay Gains Traction Among Metro Rail Commuters in the Philippines
Apple Pay has begun to gain traction among Metro Rail commuters in the Philippines. On August 4, 2026, users started sharing their experiences using Apple's digital wallet for seamless cashless transactions via Apple devices.
A user on X (formerly Twitter) posted a video demonstrating the successful use of Apple Pay at the Metro Rail Transit-Line 3 (MRT-3). The user used his iPhone and a GoTyme card, a digital banking solution, to pay for the fare.
The post garnered significant engagement, with users expressing their thoughts through replies and reposts. Some advised activating 'Express Mode' to eliminate the need for Face ID verification at turnstiles.
