Manatee County Area Transit (MCAT) buses will begin offering mobile ticketing as a new fare payment option for passengers beginning today. Mobile ticketing provides a simple, cost-effective approach to buying bus passes using a mobile device. The one-year pilot program makes available to MCAT passengers the Token Transit software application for the purchase of single ride fares, as well as daily, weekly and monthly bus passes. With Token Transit no onboard equipment is necessary and Manatee County Government incurs no equipment or maintenance costs. The new fare option requires only visual validation by the Transit Operator, which expedites the boarding process. At the same time, passengers benefit from a new fare payment option which requires no cash on hand or ticket that might be lost or misplaced. Instructions for downloading the Token Transit app and purchasing MCAT single ride fares and bus passes are available onboard MCAT buses, at Transit Stations and via the website below.
