Like public transit systems in other cites beginning next week ETS will offer transit users an electronic fare payment system. The electronic system means users will be able to pay their fare with a card rather than having to carry exact change or with paper tickets and passes. These cards will be able to be obtained online, at vending machines located at transit and LRT stations, at in-person service centres and select retailers. Transit riders who use the new electronic card will pay $2.75 for a single 90-minute fare instead of the cash fare price of $3.50 which is a sving of $.75 a fare which adds up for frequent transit riders.
The per-ride price that standard adult fare riders will pay for a single 90-minute fare is $2.75 instead of the cash fare price of $3.50, so this price point is equivalent to our 10-pack of adult tickets,” she added.
