DART Mobile Ticketing Presentation
Mobile Ticketing :
DART team has been participating with six other transit agencies in
New Jersey Transit team had been evaluating mobile ticketing and
New York MTA, New Jersey Transit, SEPTA, WMATA, CTA (Chicago), and LA METRO
determined it was a better solution for commuter rail than chip in card solution because
Conductors could much more quickly read ticket on phone versus tapping each card to validate Low cost of capital investment and relatively easy to implement
Works for proof of payment on ungated rail system, light and commuter rail Would be helpful in reducing wait times at TVMs on major event days Could be used by many of our current riders on both bus and rail Offered many opportunities for frequent rider benefits, couponing, bundling with event tickets, etc. Offers cost savings to DART by reducing both cash handling and printed tickets
Convenient, easy method to purchase tickets Leverages consumer use of smartphones Accommodates regional fare products easily Creates opportunity for bundling of purchases i.e., State Fair+DART pass i.e., Belt Line Parking+DART pass+Airport food coupon Provides visual proof-of-payment solution Lends itself to ungated rail systems Low front-end capital investment Shifts payment away from cash systems Provides better data regarding rider attributes and travel preferences

Agency Agency 1 Agency Info Rail only; 84 rail stations Other Info App combines 5 transit agencies (bus & train) into one app. Saw a 10% increase in new customers when they launched SMS that they can only attribute it to the SMS application. Overall, approximately 1 in every 2 - 3 transactions are via mobile (SMS and smartphone). SMS has been very popular. 65% of single-ride tickets are sold via SMS. 5% of their revenue comes from SMS tickets. They are very happy with Unwire. No mobile app yet due to expense of scanners and network access on 2,000 buses. SMS only took three months from signing contract to rollout. Very high adoption rate with 25% of their sales coming from the SMS platform in 2 months. No penetration data. Are absolutely satisfied with Unwires performance. Have had InModo scanners on their buses for two years. They have held up well. Currently smartphone app is in testing phase and all tests are looking good. Only offer single-ride tickets in SMS and plan to do the same in their smartphone app. May do monthly passes later.
