It used to be that you need to visit a store to reload your Beep card. Thankfully, there’s now a much easier way to fill up this contactless smart card to help make your daily commute faster.
At long last, a special feature on the dedicated Beep Card app has been launched by the folks at AF Payments Inc. The new feature will allow most card users to reload their cards without having to wait long lines or risk being in crowded areas.
