EZFARE MAKES MOBILE TRANSIT SIMPLE AND EASIER
15 transit systems across Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Michigan have come together to offer a coordinated mobile ticketing app. By downloading EZfare, riders can purchase fares from multiple agencies in one location enabling them to seamlessly ride without the need for cash or lines to purchase fare.
All EZfare agencies now have a stored value "EZfare Account" feature as a result of the funding support received through the IMI Grant. Passengers can now load cash at transit centers and also select retail locations.
“WE BELIEVE ANYONE WHO NEEDS OR WANTS TO GO ANYWHERE IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE PUBLIC TRANSIT TO GET THERE.” -BEN CAPELLE, LAKETRAN CEO AND NEORIDE BOARD PRESIDENT
