2 min to read


The Xpress regional commuter transit service and Gwinnett County Transit (GCT) partnered with Token Transit to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Token Transit is a new mobile ticketing program that allows riders to pay fares without touching cash or kiosks. The app is free and is available in both the Apple and Google Play stores.

Using Token Transit eliminates the need for hard surface contact at the farebox between operators and passengers. It is a cashless, cardless, and contactless payment solution. Both Xpress and GCT will be offering a 50% discount on the first purchase made through the Token Transit app during the months of January and February.

Gwinnett County Transit will be launching Token Transit on Jan. 4. The partnership will provide their riders with a new level of convenience that eliminates the need for carrying cash.

To use Token Transit, first you download the Token Transit mobile app. Second, you buy your transit pass. Finally, you use your phone to tap your pass from the Token Transit app and board your bus or coach. The location feature must be enabled on your phone to use Token Transit.

Xpress gives commuters throughout the metro Atlanta region a valuable transportation option and improves the capacity of Georgia’s most congested highways. Xpress has 27 routes in 12 metro Atlanta counties that carry more than 1.8 million passenger trips annually to and from major employment centers in downtown Atlanta, Midtown, and Perimeter Center.
