Mass transit passengers in Hoboken, New Jersey now have an even greater incentive to use public transit with the Shop and Ride app which offers discounts, savings and special offers from merchants along their routes.

The Shop and Ride app, powered by 4186 Xerox, delivers personalised, local, mobile offers to passengers based on their preferences and travel patterns. Beacon technology placed in local bus shelters and at merchant sites communicates with the app so users are notified of existing offers in the area or at a particular store. With a single touch, passengers can save a coupon to redeem it immediately or at a later time. Xerox provides the merchants with real-time tracking of deal conversions and anonymous data, such as the number of users who save, open and redeem the coupons, enabling them to make data-driven decisions based on which offers resonate most with consumers. The Shop and Ride app is available for download in the Apple store.
