NeoRide, a consortium of seven Ohio transit agencies and 6870 Masabi, is to launch a cashless mobile ticketing and fare payment app called EZfare.


Ben Capelle, NeoRide board chair, says users “won’t need cash, they won’t have to stand in line at transit stations to pay fares or obtain transfers”.

EZfare is available to riders in Laketran, Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority and Portage Area Regional Transit Authority.
