Modeshift Partners with rabbittransit to Deliver Unified, Modern Fare Collection System The rabbitPAY platform introduces mobile ticketing, reloadable smart cards, automatic fare capping and real-time account management tools for riders using Capital Region, Gettysburg, Shippensburg and York fixed-route services, as well as rabbitEXPRESS, Capital Region Commuter Routes and Stop Hopper services. With automatic fare capping capabilities available on fixed urban and fixed rural services, riders can simply pay as they go. Once they reach the cost of a monthly pass, additional rides during that month are free, ensuring riders automatically receive the best available fare without needing to purchase a pass upfront. This makes transit more affordable and accessible for the many people who rely on rabbittransit to reach essential destinations. "rabbitPAY represents a major step forward in providing a more convenient and modern transit experience for our riders," said Richard Farr, Executive Director of rabbittransit. "rabbitPAY makes paying for transit as easy as tapping a phone or smart card while ensuring riders automatically receive the best fare available. Our goal is to remove barriers and make public transportation even more convenient, accessible and user-frendly for the communities we serve." Key Features of rabbittransit's New Fare Collection System:
As the rollout continues, rabbittransit will become the first transit agency to deploy Modeshift's new validating fareboxes while continuing to expand the rabbitPAY platform with ticket vending machines and, at a later stage, open payment. Together, these enhancements will unify cash payments, contactless bank cards, mobile wallets, mobile ticketing, smart cards and account-based payments within Modeshift's integrated 360-degree fare collection platform. "rabbittransit is building one of the most modern and flexible fare collection systems in the state," said Miroslav Katsarov, CEO of Modeshift. "By bringing together digital payment options, farecapping, and soon, our validating fareboxes through a single integrated platform, rabbittransit is creating a more seamless rider experience today while laying the foundation for future regional fare integration across Pennsylvania." Modeshift's account-based platform also supports interoperability between transit agencies, creating future opportunities for seamless regional travel and simplified fare payments as additional agencies in the state modernize their systems.
