【Kaohsiung News】
Kaohsiung City continues to advance digital transformation and service innovation in public transportation by officially launching the “NT$399 QR Monthly Pass Subscription” program. By linking a credit card, users can enable automatic monthly renewal and payment, eliminating the need to repurchase passes each month. A single subscription provides continuous access, significantly reducing the time and procedures required for ticket purchasing, and making public transportation more efficient and convenient.
To further enhance ticketing convenience, the Transportation Bureau has continuously optimized both purchasing and usage processes. In addition to the previously introduced 90-day quarterly pass, the Bureau now launches the NT$399 QR monthly pass subscription service. Once a credit card is linked, users can utilize their mobile phones to access unlimited public transportation services via QR code without the need for monthly repurchase, providing a more streamlined and time-saving experience.
In recent years, the Transportation Bureau has progressively refined the ticket purchasing process on the MeNGo platform. Previously, users holding physical cards were required to visit MRT stations or convenience stores to reload and renew their monthly passes. Now, through the MeNGo platform, users can complete the renewal process with a single tap on their mobile devices, without leaving home, significantly improving convenience and saving time.
The Transportation Bureau stated that the introduction of this public transportation subscription model marks a comprehensive shift toward fully digitalized periodic pass services in Kaohsiung. It enables citizens to access public transportation in a smarter and more convenient manner, while also demonstrating the City’s continued achievements in smart mobility and digital service innovation.
