Bytemark’s Plan, Book & Pay platform powers a new fare-capping pilot program and opportunity to buy fares and load wallets at retail stores using cash.
Pioneer Valley Transit Authority and Brockton Area Transit Authority implement BusPlus, a cashless option for riders provided by Bytemark.
Launching first on two local transit systems, Durham Region Transit and Hamilton Street Railway, the PRESTO E-Tickets app provides transit customers with a new fare payment option.
The partnership will make transit more accessible to a larger group of passengers.
The innovations include new ways to purchase and pay for fares, such as a tap-and-go payment option and adding reload opportunities in local retailers.
The platform provides a one-stop-shop for transit agencies, saving them time and money.
The EMV Level 3-certified solution will accept both contact and contactless payments.
Siemens Mobility and Bytemark, will integrate all mobility provider payments — spanning both public and private mobility options.
The successful completion of the project now allows RET passengers to purchase tickets through an app on their smartphone.
