Delaware’s state owned transit system has rolled out a mobile option for passengers using one fare zone
The DART app displays a digital pass on the phone’s screen, eliminating the need for a paper ticket or cash. This new mobile payment is now available on the updated free DelDOT app, which can be downloaded on the Apple and Google Play stores.
Fares available for mobile purchase include a one-way ride, a reduced fare one-way ride (ID required upon boarding), a Daily Pass, as well as new 7-Day and 30-day Passes.
All mobile fares are currently valid for one zone only; however, multiple tickets can be used for multi-zone travel. Multi-zone tickets will be available at a later date.
“This new statewide mobile fare payment option is a continuation of our efforts to modernize our public transportation system. It’s a great example of our ongoing focus using innovation to improve customer service,” said Delaware Secretary of Transportation Jennifer Cohan.
Once your account is set up with a credit or debit card, select the fare type that you’d like to purchase, from a single ride to a 30-Day pass.
Passengers activate your mobile fare upon boarding the bus. A pop-up message appears with the expiration date/time. Confirm to activate, then show the driver your device and tap your screen to display the moving green image.
Information is available on the free DelDOT App (iOS and Android), as well as on DART’s Trip Planner at www.DartFirstState.com.
