Smarter public transit comes at the cost of rider anonymity
- Date: 12/01/2023
Security experts were skeptical about the New York MTA’s switch to an OMNY tap-and-go system when it was first announced years ago.…
The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC SNV) has announced that it has unveiled a new feature called Tap & GO in its popular rideRTC app. This innovative addition allows customers to purchase single-ride fares for all routes. Tap & GO is particularly beneficial for individuals planning to take a single trip, passengers with flexible travel arrangements and visitors utilising the 24-hour Deuce service on the Strip.
With the Tap & GO feature, users can conveniently add funds to their mobile account using credit or cash. Those opting for cash payments can easily locate nearby cash to mobile stations. Once the funds are added to their account, users can simply scan the app barcode when boarding the bus, and the appropriate single-ride fare is automatically deducted from their in-app wallet.
