INorder to top up YPS cards used for riding YBS vehicles through mobile money applications such as KBZ Pay and Wave Money, it is necessary to obtain approval from the Central Bank of Myanmar.
According to the Yangon Region Public Transport Committee (YRTC), YPS cards are planned to be topped up through mobile money applications.
“Right now, top-up can only be done at G&G stores and designated locations. We are planning to extend it to top-up via mobile money application. Asia Starmar Transport Intelligent Company is implementing it. It needs the CBM’s approval. The process is underway, but we cannot say the exact date when it will start,” YRTC Joint Secretary U Lyan Cing Mang said.
There are also reports that YPS top-up through the mobile money application will be launched in 2025.
Currently, more than 3,900 YPS POS devices are installed in YBS vehicles of 18 YBS bus line companies, and plans are being made to continue installing them in the remaining cars. There are presently more than 200,000 YPS card users and more than 2,000 QR system users in Yangon.
