Current Mobile Ticketing DART embraced the concept of mobile payments and introduced a first-generation mobile ticketing and trip planning app in September 2013, called GoPass. GoPass is currently available for download from the Google Play and Apple iTunes stores at no cost to customers, and services three regional transit agencies for purchase of mobile tickets: DART, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (FWTA), and the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA). Updated Mobile Ticketing App In the interest of continuous improvement, DART has chosen to provide enhanced GoPass mobile ticketing capabilities as a part of a larger payments platform being developed for deployment. This updated version of the mobile ticketing app is know as GoPass 2.0. These new GoPass 2.0 mobile app enhancements will include upgraded interfaces with Uber, Lyft, taxi providers, and other ride-sourcing services. They will further enhance the previous app look and feel, provide additional functionality, as well as improve the ways in which customers pay their fares. The updated version of the GoPass app will include the following: • Support for trip planning and real-time arrival information • Ability to manage a GoPass mobile account • Quicker loading speed • Direct customer feedback in the app • Interactive route and system mapping • Purchase and display multiple rider fares on one ticket • Ability to pay by using cash via retail solution • Set up of auto-load for pass products The enhanced version of GoPass will be available for public download from the Google Play and Apple iTunes stores in May 2018, and will continue to serve three regional transit agencies for purchase of mobile tickets: DART, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (FWTA), and the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA).
