Anaheim Public Transit Operator Launches New Contactless Payment System

ANAHEIM, Calif. (November 1, 2023) – Today, Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN) launched a contactless payment system for one-way fares for the Anaheim Regional Transportation (ART) system and airport connection, Everyone Ventures Everywhere (EVE).  Riders can also purchase all-day passes on ATN’s A-Way WeGo App.

“As we prepare to be the state’s first all-electric public transit operator, we are always looking for ways to enhance and improve our passenger experience,” said Diana Kotler, ATN CEO. “Now giving riders the simplicity of an option to tap and ride, ATN’s public transportation network will continue to play a critical role in connecting our community to local jobs, healthcare facilities, entertainment and recreation venues, and regional transportation connections.  Our new ‘Tap2Ride’ feature will allow for walk on riders and on-demand services to be paid quickly and efficiently.”

ATN’s vehicles are now equipped with Tap2Ride touch pads that allow riders to choose the number of passengers and simply tap to pay with Visa or Mastercard, Google Pay or Apple Pay. 

ATN provides public transit service to 9 million passengers annually in the greater Anaheim area including portions of Buena Park, Garden Grove and Orange.  ATN’s fleet of nearly 100 electric and clean-fuel vehicles, play a critical role in connecting neighborhoods and employment centers in the greater Anaheim area to Amtrak, Metrolink, and OCTA routes.
