Taipei, New Taipei public transport to roll out QR code payments from SaturdayBy Fion Khan / Staff writer, with CNACity buses in Taipei and New Taipei City, as well as the Taipei MRT, would begin accepting QR code payments from five electronic payment providers starting this Saturday, the Taipei Department of Transportation said today. The new option would allow passengers to use the "transportation QR code" feature from EasyWallet, iPASS Money, iCash Pay, JkoPay and PXPay Plus. Passengers should open their preferred electronic payment app, select the "transportation code," not the regular payment code, unlock it, and then scan the code at ticket readers or gates, Taipei Department of Transportation General Planning Division Director-General Liu Kuo-chu (劉國著) said. As for frequent rider benefits, the existing system for stored-value cards such as EasyCard, iPASS and iCash cards remains unchanged, and QR code users would also qualify for the same MRT loyalty rebates, the Taipei Rapid Transit Corp said. Taipei would continue to encourage and invite other payment providers, such as LINE Pay Money, to join the system, enabling residents to access major public transportation services across the greater Taipei area using just their mobile phone, Liu said.
