Automated Fare Collection System (AFCS)

---

An Automated Fare Collection System (AFCS) using plastic magnetic tickets as fare medium is being utilized in both the LRT Line 1 and LRT Line 2 Systems . The AFCS replaced the old token fare collection system which had been in operation in Line 1 from December 1, 1984 to September 8, 2001 and which used the token as the fare medium.
