Coming Soon! Upgraded Boarding with Token Transit!
Exciting news for CATA riders! Starting in August 2025, getting around town will be smoother, faster, and way more convenient with the launch of Token Transit mobile validators on all CATABUS, CATAGO!, and CATARIDE Vehicles!
Token Transit mobile validators are sleek, contactless devices installed on buses that let you pay with your phone instantly. All you need is the Token Transit app, which you can download from the App Store or Google Play (coming soon). Once it’s installed, simply purchase your fare on the app, scan the QR code on your cell phone with the validator when you board, and you’re good to go!
With this technology, you can:
Skip the Cash: No need for paper tickets or coins—just your phone.
*Please note that riders will still be able to buy fare media and pay with cash.
Get Discounts: As we update our fare prices, you can get discounts on your tickets by using the Token Transit app to pay for your tickets!
Pay As You Go: Can’t afford a full day or monthly pass right now? No worries! With Pay As You Go, you can earn that pass with each tap. You can purchase and activate passes as normal in the Token Transit app and Pay As You Go will apply automatically, when available. This provides an equitable solution for riders who cannot afford to purchase an all day or monthly pass upfront or may not know how often they ride.
Speed Up Boarding: Scanning to validate your ticket is quick, which means less time waiting and more time moving.
