Frequently Asked Questions

Transit payment solutions enable agencies to accept fares across channels and devices, including validators, ticket vending machines (TVMs), and fare gates, with reporting and controls that support daily operations.

Account-based ticketing (ABT) manages transactions and fare rules in a back office so taps from cards or wallets can be validated without relying on stored value on a physical card.

Fare capping automatically applies best-fare logic, such as daily or weekly caps, so riders do not pay more than a defined limit, and pass logic can be applied through the same account-based fare rules.

Parking payment solutions enable digital payment collection for street parking, garages, and park-and-ride environments, often paired with enforcement-ready workflows such as pay-by-plate.

EV charging payments can support session-based pricing and reporting, with analytics that track charger health, revenue, and utilization.
