The Rapid is holding several public meetings to present proposed fare structure changes and to seek community feedback regarding these proposed changes. The Rapid is proposing a few changes to its current fare structure to fully use the new e-fare technology, expedite the boarding process, and give passengers more options on fare payment. This proposal does not include a fare increase. If approved, changes to the fare structure will be in effect when the e-fare system launches in early 2018.
The proposed changes include:·
Elimination of 10-Ride tickets
Implementation of a pay-as-you-go way to purchase a pass
Implementation of more convenient reloadable account options through e-fare·Elimination of the sale of tickets on the bus
Elimination of the sale of tickets on the bus
