You may have heard the term “fare capping” recently.
We recently expanded O-Payment across all bus fare readers and station fare gates. An exciting feature of O-Payment is “fare capping”. This means that customers who use the same credit card or mobile wallet to pay for their fares will never pay more than the cost of a DayPass or Adult monthly pass over the course of a day or month.
We caught up with Brad, Program Manager of Customer Technology Systems, to get his top “tap tips” when it comes to fare capping.
Customers will notice that there will be a difference between the online schedules and the printed schedules at some bus stops until a maintenance backlog is cleared.
Have you checked out our new Rack & Roll practice bike rack? It was first introduced at Hurdman Station last fall, and will frequently move to a new location. This makes it easier for cyclists to try it out in their own area. Keep checking back to find out where you can try out the practice bike rack each month.
The practice rack is located at the Ruth E Dickinson library along the windows to the right of the entrance.
