Fare and Payment

Flexible Fare Collection for Any Transit Program

Stripe-integrated payment processing with zone-based pricing, QR passes, no-charge rides, and tiered fare structures, all configured from the admin portal.

Cash, card, mobile, and agency-funded rides. Set fare rules per program, per zone, or per rider type, and let the platform handle collection, reconciliation, and deposits.

The Problem

Fare collection gets complicated fast when every program has different rules

Multiple fare types, mixed payment methods, and program-specific pricing create reconciliation headaches that slow down operations.

01

Managing multiple fare types across programs

Subsidized rides, full-fare riders, zone-based pricing, and agency-funded trips all run through the same fleet. Without a system to handle them together, coordinators track fares manually across spreadsheets and disconnected tools.

02

Cash handling and reconciliation overhead

Cash-based fare collection means drivers carry money, coordinators count receipts, and finance teams reconcile manually at end of day. Every step introduces risk and takes time away from running service.

03

Riders needing flexible payment options

Some riders pay by card. Some pay cash. Some have their fare covered by an employer or agency. When the system only supports one method, riders get turned away or coordinators create workarounds that break the audit trail.

04

Fare policy changes requiring vendor involvement

Adding a new zone, adjusting a fare tier, or launching a subsidized program should not require a support ticket or a custom development cycle. But with many platforms, every pricing change goes through a vendor queue.

What It Does

Every fare scenario handled from one platform

Zone pricing, subsidized rides, card payments, QR boarding passes, and direct deposits. Configure it all in the admin portal without writing code.

Stripe payment integration

Credit card payments processed through Stripe with secure tokenization and storage. Riders save payment methods in the app and pay automatically when their trip completes.

Zone-based fare structures

Define fare zones in the admin portal and price rides based on origin, destination, or distance traveled. Each program can have its own zone map and pricing tiers.

QR code boarding passes

Each rider gets a unique QR code for identity verification and route access. Drivers scan QR codes at boarding to confirm the rider and log the trip automatically.

No-charge and subsidized rides

Configure organization-paid trips where the rider pays nothing at the point of service. Employers, municipalities, and agencies fund rides directly through the platform.

Tiered and income-qualified fares

Set different fare levels based on rider type, income qualification, or accessibility needs. Promo codes support fixed-amount and percentage-based discounts with expiration dates.

Payments deposited to your account

Fare revenue deposits directly into your Stripe account. No intermediary holds, no platform-controlled payouts. You control your money from day one.

Fare policy configuration, no dev required

Zones, eligibility rules, fare tiers, capacity limits, and payer logic are all set in the admin portal. Launch a new fare structure or adjust pricing without a support ticket or engineering cycle.

Multi-program fare management

Run different fare structures for different programs from the same platform instance. A municipal transit service and a corporate shuttle can each have their own pricing, payment methods, and payer configurations.

How It Works

From fare setup to automatic deposits in three steps

Configure your fare rules once. The platform handles collection, reconciliation, and deposits from there.

Configure fare rules in the admin portal

Set zones, fare tiers, payment methods, promo codes, and payer logic for each program. Define who pays (rider, employer, or agency) and how much per trip type.

Riders pay via app, QR pass, or are billed automatically

Self-pay riders use credit card or cash through the mobile app. Organization-funded riders board with their QR code, and the fare is billed to the sponsoring account automatically.

Payments deposit directly into your Stripe account

Card payments process through Stripe and deposit into your account. Fare payment reports in the admin portal show per-trip cost breakdowns across all payment types.
