New Fareboxes

RTA traded its fareboxes for sleeker, faster, modern ones that offer more fare payment options.  They are similar to the old fareboxes and customers can continue to pay as they did in the past, using cash and paper passes. The new fareboxes also accept other payment types including contactless tap-enabled credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay and cash and coin. Smartcards are expected to be introduced in May 2023.

Mobile ticketing is now done on the GoMobile app. RTA bus passes are no longer available on Token Transit app and can only be purchased on the GoMobile app. U-Pass and Go-Pass mobile passes are also only accessible on the GoMobile app.
