INIT pioneered the first virtual fare card and open payments system in North America at TriMet in 2017. The HOP Fastpass system spans a two-state region, and encompasses multiple modes of transportation with service from three different agencies. The system empowers riders through easy payments and region-wide service.
The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) set up an account-based fare system with INIT that utilizes an open-payment fare structure, an award-winning online reduced fare portal, and a virtual card using Apple Express, improving accessibility to its regional network of buses, trolleys, and trains.
The Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit) along with six regional transit partners implemented a next generation electronic fare system from INIT. The realized goals improved the customer experience through real-time account management, customer data security, and the use of virtual cards and mobile devices to pay fares.
MARTA's collaboration with INIT will revolutionize riders’ commute in the Atlanta region through the introduction of a unified, contactless 'tap and go' service. Paying fares will become a breeze with the use of mobile tickets, debit and credit cards, and mobile wallets.
Metrolink needed to upgrade their ticket vending machines to empower riders with innovative options for fare payments. INIT's TVMs allow low-income riders to use their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards for fares. The devices are ADA-compliant making transit in Los Angeles more accessible and affordable than ever.
The Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) launched a region-wide, account-based fare system that unites three counties and enables contactless payments across the region. Riders enjoy frictionless travel using debit or credit cards, smart cards, and mobile tickets to pay and go.
