Great video. I always wondered about the reason for the switchover and I understand it now. I have a car, but there have been a couple of occasions where I wanted to go out and have a few drinks, and clearly I wasn't going to drive to or from the bar. I don't like worrying about how much an Uber/Lyft, etc. is going to cost, and this system is very straightforward about how much you'll pay. I've only used the app, not the card, and the whole process was very easy. Good job on this!

I recently rode the bus/trolley for the first time in 20 years due to a car problem. I obtained a Pronto Card and used it to get to/from work. All of the buses and trolleys I had to ride to get to/from work came pretty much on time and I had little to no wait time between transfers. Overall I was surprised how easy and user friendly everything was. Good Job MTS.

I'm from San Diego, but moved to Portland. I'm glad you've adopted this equivalent system. It'll be nice visiting family and using this new fare collection system. I'm hopeful that ApplePay integration happens soon, because it's very convenient up here.

Next board meeting will likely approve a framework for contactless. It would use the same fare structure (one way fare + 2 hours of free transfers from the first boarding). No SDM/Youth/reduced fare support and not sure if day pass capping will be possible, but I am sure that can be worked on at a later date. MTS will be getting new adapters for their fare verification devices that would be able to read NFC + there are some things needed to be worked on software wise. Once this gets passed we will have a minimally viable product for contactless. Virtual cards which are a card in an app like Clipper would be introduced at a later date.

Earn as you go is SO GREAT. I don't ride every day so with Compass I'd be less likely to choose transit because I didn't know how much I'd ride in a day/month. Now transit is my default over driving or ride share because I tap and go and never worry about paying more than a day or month pass.
