Mobile Applications
Featured App – New!
Would you like the ease of purchasing tickets from your phone or mobile device, and then “storing” them there until you’re ready to ride?
You can do that now with RIPTA’s new Flash Pass App!* Available for both Android and iOS devices, the app lets you purchase select tickets or passes from your device and then activate the one you’d like to use before you board. When you have an active ticket on your screen, just show the driver and they will ask you to tap your phone screen so they can verify its validity by the changing colors and the scrolling RIPTA logo.
If you’d like to watch an instructional video on this exciting, new product, just click here.
The Flash Pass is easy to use and allows you to purchase tickets or passes before you board…and you can store tickets in the app for future use. No more digging around for cash! Go to the App Store or Android Play Store, download our new app, and get ready to ride.
*Please note the app is still in beta version and RIPTA continues to monitor its performance. If you’d like to send feedback, please email: marketing@ripta.com
