Fare capping gives the customer the power to choose how and when to pay for and access rides. Making open loop with fare capping a key part of transit payment systems isn’t just a matter of efficiency, convenience, or savings, it’s also about supporting the passengers who need it the most. Open loop payments with fare capping fits right into the wave of flexible contactless technologies already emerging across public transportation.
A more flexible future for transitĪs the demand for flexibility permeates every aspect of daily life, transit operators need to keep up. Research found that 43% of surveyed transit riders said faster rides were a top motivator in choosing to ride public transit - a desire that fare capping can offer.Ĭapping fares on open loop results in riders and transit operators no longer needing to worry about the what - what are they using to pay their fare? What balance do they have on their closed loop card? - nor the how -how often this week will they be riding? Further, transit operators can increase efficiencies of their overall sales and ticketing channels, including reduced cash handling, since riders can pay for fares with their own existing card or device. Beyond the passenger experience factor, agencies need to ensure they’re keeping buses and trains moving efficiently and on time. While rush hour may not look the same as it did in 2019, transit operators still need to minimize friction in their ticketing and payment systems. As of 2021, agencies that have launched fare capping include Monterey-Salinas Transit, Portland’s TriMet, Miami-Dade Transit, Sacramento Regional Transit District, Dallas Area Rapid Transit and New York's MTA, whose popular weekly fare capping pilot saved commuters more than $1 million dollars in its first month.įare capping reduces complexity and helps keep transit on track.
We have already seen success stories as agencies nationwide offer contactless payments options with fare capping. When customers use an open loop payment option, it means their funds are available for other daily essentials in addition to transit. Fare capping in an open loop payment system can help get all riders to their destinations without undue financial stress and relieves customers from having to commit a substantial sum upfront for a transit-specific pass. It brings a more equitable riding experience. Conversely, there’s no missed value on lighter travel weeks. If a rider needs to commute daily one week, fare capping means they won’t spend more than they would have with a weekly pass.

For example, if you purchase a ticket to travel on Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Cape Town, but the flight makes a stop in Johannesburg, then you will need to purchase a ticket reflecting the stop in Johannesburg. If the routing you select is a direct flight (meaning it makes a stop but you are continuing on) you must get a flight coupon for each segment. The total cost of your pass is determined per flight segment. Adjustments made to fares are done each year in October. ZED fares are reviewed on an annual basis by all the carriers who participate in ZED agreements. Below are the current ZED fares for all zones and levels as well as economy class and business class.
