NFC TIMES Exclusive Insight – U.S.-based trip-planning app Transit announced it has enabled 500,000 rides from its app for a group of 13 small to mid-tier transit agencies based in the state of Ohio, though mobile ticketing still makes up a small percentage of total rides provided by the agencies.
Transit and the NEORide transit agency group said 55% of all mobile ticketing sales go through the Transit app. That’s largely thanks to NEORide’s largest transit agency, Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority of Cincinnati, or Metro, which has made Transit its default mobile app. NEORide began selling transit tickets through the Transit app in the fall of 2019.
