Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN) announced it has launched a contactless payment system for one-way fares for the Anaheim Regional Transportation (ART) system and airport connection, Everyone Ventures Everywhere (EVE).
Riders can also purchase all-day passes on ATN’s A-Way WeGo App.
“As we prepare to be the state’s first all-electric public transit operator, we are always looking for ways to enhance and improve our passenger experience,” said Diana Kotler, ATN CEO. “Now giving riders the simplicity of an option to tap and ride, ATN’s public transportation network will continue to play a critical role in connecting our community to local jobs, healthcare facilities, entertainment and recreation venues, and regional transportation connections. Our new ‘Tap2Ride’ feature will allow for walk-on riders and on-demand services to be paid quickly and efficiently.”
