As urban transit systems evolve, rider expectations are also shifting toward greater convenience and efficiency. Visa’s January 2024 “Future of Urban Mobility” study highlights this transformation, revealing that 94% of transit riders prefer contactless payments for seamless fare transactions. Additionally, among agencies without open-loop payment systems, 83% plan to adopt this technology, with 70% targeting implementation within the next two years (Visa, 2024).
These findings emphasize the growing reliance on mobile devices for fare payments, trip planning, and communication during travel. However, the infrastructure to support these devices remains limited, particularly charging options at rail stations, bus terminals, and stops. Addressing this gap is essential to meet the needs of both passengers and transit agencies striving to enhance the overall transit experience.
