The Regional Transportation District hopes that the ability to pay transit fares by smartphone will remove the frustration of waiting in line and searching for correct change.
The Denver-are Regional Transportation District (RTD) recently launched a mobile app that allows transit users to pay their fare by phone.
"RTD customers just have to download the app on their Apple or Android smartphone, purchase a pass with their credit card and then activate the pass before getting on a bus or train," reports Jesse Paul.
