Charles4515 Posted July 8 Author #2 Share Posted July 8 (edited) This is brand new so there will be a learning curve and possible glitches. The app has tutorials on how to use it. I noticed that the ticket booklets are available. I wonder if the digital tickets version has an expiration date.

Charles4515 Posted July 8 Author #3 Share Posted July 8 The app will take Visa and Master Card. Not Discover or AMEX. The fares are in BMD which is exchanges equal to USD. If you have a credit card that does not charge foreign transaction fees you would want o use that card as those fees could be as high as 3%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in North Texas we self validate and then show the driver our activated ticket when we board a bus. It will say Activated in large type. You are supposed to activate just before boarding. No scanning. The driver looks at my phone. Activated single ticket is good for two hours, day pass 24 hours. I notice the tickets in the app have to be self activated like on our app but there is a QR code. I don’t know if that has to be scanned. They don’t say. Since they bought it from a British company and is used by some UK bus companies it may work better than NJ Transits app. 😆 Edited July 9 by Charles4515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
