Available on both the App Store and the Google Play store, Journey will initially get rolled out to existing partner agencies.
The platform encourages rider behaviors that help manage periods of peak demand and incentivizes additional ridership.
This new capability enables in-app transactions using Google Pay and Apple Pay.
The incorporation of “Occupancy Status” on the CapMetro application will assist riders by allowing them to choose a different trip if they believe a vehicle is too full for their individual comfort level.
The services, along with EMV-enabled validators, serve as the backbone for contactless EMV fare payment systems, also known as open loop, which allows riders to pay for transit by tapping the same credit or debit card they use to buy groceries or a cup of coffee.
The program will allow users to sign-up to earn points for various actions and subsequently redeem those points for rides on King County Metro buses, water taxis, Sound Transit, Seattle Streetcar, and all local scooter and bike share companies.
Adding mobility rewards compliments an already robust Bytemark Bridge™ MaaS” platform and will aid agencies with their post-pandemic recovery.
With Bytemark’s powerful fare payment platform and Transit’s top-rated user experience, transit agencies can now deliver one best-of-breed mobile app for trip planning, real-time tracking, fare payment, and multimodal connections to riders.
The partnership with Hopthru is part of Bytemark’s ongoing effort to expand Bytemark Bridge, its Plan, Book & Pay platform.
In one of my first weeks, a developer told me, “We work on what we want to, when we want to, and we will let you know when it’s done.” To which I replied, “I’m sorry, but that’s not how real life works.”
