The solution
Easy. Accessible. Innovative.
Users can use a digital account or a dedicated bank card provided by RTA, making it easy to pay for transit.
Having a centralized payment method eliminates the need for transfer fares and eliminates duplicative payments.
Having one primary method of payment allows transit agencies to consider capping monthly fares at a certain amount, ensuring riders qualify for eligible savings.
