This system is designed to streamline boarding, simplify fare structure, and enhance accounting operations across the Authority. This new system, powered by Masabi, a leading provider of ticketing and payment solutions for transit agencies, represents a major step in modernizing LANTA\u2019s services.<\/p>\n<p>Announcing the launch, LANTA Executive Director Owen O\u2019Neil stated, &#8220;ValleyRide marks an important step in our Moving LANTA Forward long-range plan. Over the coming months, we\u2019ll be sharing more details on the benefits ValleyRide will bring to our riders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The ValleyRide system will integrate with LANTA\u2019s existing Transit\u00ae App, enabling riders to pay fares digitally and access real-time bus arrival information without needing additional apps. Riders who prefer paying with cash can still do so onboard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re excited to offer the convenience of a modern, digital fare collection system through ValleyRide,&#8221; said Darryl Lightner, LANTA\u2019s Manager of Communications &amp; Strategic Initiatives.
