How to get Beep Cards for PWD (Persons with Disabilities) and Senior Citizens

I’ve long been offered to get my very own Beep Card so that it would be more convenient for me to ride the MRT. With the long queue each day going south bound for the MRT, it would really be easier if I’d get myself my very own Beep Card, it saves time and money. But then, since I’m a PWD (persons with disability) myself, I’ve decided to get myself the white Beep Card with my name on it rather than the usual blue colored Beep Card. So how to acquire the white colored Beep Card which is only issued to either PWD or Senior Citizens? What makes the white beep card different from the ordinary blue colored Beep Card?

The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) encourages PWDs and Senior Citizens to apply for the special, discounted beep cards which can be used at LRT Line 1,2, and 3 (MRT) and at the Ayala BGC Bus Stations. PWDs and Senior Citizens as we all know are granted a 20-percent fare discount.

Calling the Attention of LRT and MRT Administration and DOTC: PleaseMake the Philippines a PWD-Friendly Country

They say you can only empathize with someone when you have experienced it yourself; or only when you are in their shoe. This is true in my case. I had never even cared about the rotten system of LRT and MRT train administrations until my own Mother became a person-with-disability because of an accident. When Mommy became a PWD, that's the first time I had been fully aware of the crappy system that the Philippines have for someone like her. I realized the country did not have much heart for PWD's. Imagine the trains, both LRT and MRTs had elevators but had become "permanently out of order". Luckily for MRT, some stations do have functioning escalators, but not at all times. Most of the time, it's the same with LRT, especially the LRT Line1.
