These transit services include a combination of bus, light rail, commuter rail, commuter vans and mobility impaired (paratransit) operations. 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). GoPass 2.0 Mobile App High Level Specifications The following provides a high-level overview of the GoPass app specifications: 1) Mobile App Development: DART has secured an external vendor to develop the GoPass mobile app. 2) Target Platforms for GoPass Mobile App: The GoPass mobile app is currently developed for use on both iOS (Apple) and Android smart phone platforms. There are no plans to develop a Windows based app at this time.

  • Transit App Moovit Expands Crowdsourcing to Masses
    Transit App Moovit Expands Crowdsourcing to Masses Version 4.13 for Android Further Empowers Users to Contribute Real-Time Transit Information, Such As Station Location Closures and Track Maintenance Updates SAN FRANCISCO – August 4, 2016 Moovit, the world’s leading local transit app, is taking its foundation in crowdsourced data one step further by opening editing capabilities to all. Previously only available to members of the Moovit Community program, the new feature allows transit riders to help others to have the most up-to-date transportation information so that the transit experience is better for all. The newly-released Moovit version 4.13 for Android is available for immediate download. Now, any Moovit user can help to suggest edits to data within the app, including edits to many attributes of a station, like its location on the map, name and whether it is permanently inoperative. Due to the way some data is collected, occasionally a station icon will be shown on the map near where the station is located (across the street, or a few yards away, for ​ ​ example), but not actually in its precise location. When planning a trip via the app, the station icon location on the map is taken into consideration in the routes a user will receive. If the station is actually located across the street from where the icon is seen on the map, the user may find their route inaccurate if they have to walk longer than expected to find the entrance. The new update, coupled with Moovit’s existing level of service reporting capabilities – such as elevator malfunction, cleanliness or crowdedness updates – gives users a comprehensive ability to quickly spot discrepancies and make changes that can help to improve the overall experience of their fellow transit riders, and even potentially avoid transit congestion, maintenance delays or other issues.

Nygard Dr. Simone Ludwig Dr. Joseph G. Szmerekovsky Approved by Department Chair: 1/28/2013 Dr. Kenneth Magel Date Signature ABSTRACT Fargo and Moorhead have good public transportation provided by Metro Area Transit bus service. Google Maps Navigation, which provides public transportation routes and directions in several major cities, is not available in Fargo or Moorhead, so bus users have to either carry and use printed maps provided by MATBUS to determine the bus routes they need to take to reach their destination, or if they have a smartphone with internet connectivity, they can visit MATBUS website to view the maps on their device. This paper examines the inconveniences of both procedures like using a big printed map outside in Fargo winter, or panning across an approximately A0 sized PDF (actual dimensions are 30.67 inches width and 46.67 inches height) on the small screen of a smartphone and presents a tool for Android-based smartphone users to alleviate some of those inconveniences.

    Moovit partners with GO bg Transit and Token Transit to make trip planning and paying easier and safer for Bowling Green riders Public transit riders can plan, pay, and navigate journeys - all from within the Moovit app Bowling Green - March 2021 - GO bg Transit is announcing its partnership with Moovit, an Intel company, a leading Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions provider and creator of the world’s #1 urban mobility app, and Token Transit, a mobile ticketing platform for public transit. Starting today, GO bg Transit riders in Bowling Green and the surrounding areas, can seamlessly and safely purchase and validate transit tickets - all from within the Moovit app. Mobile ticketing offers a significant benefit in keeping both passengers and transit agency employees safe. By providing contactless fare payment that can be visually inspected or scanned at validation units, public transportation riders, and transit agency employees, no longer need to handle cash, cards, or interact with ticketing infrastructure, enabling them to maintain social distancing regulations. That’s why GO bg Transit is encouraging Bowling Green’s estimated 70,000 (U.S. Census Bureau) citizens to plan their transit trips, and pay for them too, using the free Moovit app, which has helped 950 million users conveniently and confidently get around 3,400 cities across 112 countries since its launch in 2012. Purchasing and validating transit tickets, via Moovit, has been enabled using Token Transit’s integrated and robust mobile ticketing platform. Once a user launches

  • Bike-Share Systems: Accessibility and Availability
    Working Paper No. 15-04 Bike-Share Systems: Accessibility and Availability Ashish Kabra INSEAD Elena Belavina University of Chicago Booth School of Business Karan Girotra INSEAD All rights reserved. Short sections of text, not to exceed two paragraphs. May be quoted without Explicit permission, provided that full credit including notice is given to the source. This paper also can be downloaded without charge from the Social Science Research Network Electronic Paper Collection. Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2555671 BIKE-SHARE SYSTEMS: ACCESSIBILITY AND AVAILABILITY Abstract. The cities of Paris, London, Chicago, and New York (among others) have recently launched large-scale bike-share systems to facilitate the use of bicycles for urban commuting. This paper estimates the relationship between aspects of bike-share system design and ridership. Specif- ically, we estimate the effects on ridership of station accessibility (how far the commuter must walk to reach a station) and of bike-availability (the likelihood of finding a bike at the station). Our anal- ysis is based on a structural demand model that considers the random-utility maximizing choices of spatially distributed commuters, and it is estimated using high-frequency system-use data from the bike-share system in Paris. The role of station accessibility is identified using cross-sectional variation in station location and high -frequency changes in commuter choice sets; bike-availability effects are identified using longitudinal variation. Because the scale of our data, (in particular the high-frequency changes in choice sets) render traditional numerical estimation techniques in- feasible, we develop a novel transformation of our estimation problem: from the time domain to the “station stockout state” domain.
