Quick, convenient and contactless. Plan, buy (with cash!) and go. #RTCSNV<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<\/em><strong>LAS VEGAS \u2013 <\/strong>Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) transit customers now have another contactless option available at their fingertips to purchase bus passes \u2013 by cash, through the RTC smartphone app, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtcsnv.com\/ridertc\">rideRTC<\/a>. This new feature allows for a quick, convenient and contactless way to ride and is another avenue that the agency is pursuing to make the environment safer for public transportation customers.<\/p>\r\n<p>Those who own a smartphone but choose not to use a credit or debit card may now opt to add funds to their rideRTC account by pre-loading cash at <a href=\"https:\/\/pay.vanilladirect.com\/pages\/locations?mapOnlyRetailer=\">nearly 350 locations valley-wide<\/a>. Retailers signed onto the InComm Payments\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/pay.vanilladirect.com\/pages\/retailers\">VanillaDirect cash-in<\/a> payment platform accept the cash payment and scan a barcode from the user\u2019s rideRTC app. Customers then have the cash deposited to buy and store RTC bus passes that they can then use at their convenience.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cMore than 60 percent of our riders choose to pay their fare with cash, so this new option is an opportunity for riders to maintain a contactless experience during the pandemic,\u201d said M.J. Maynard, RTC chief executive officer. \u201cCustomers can add funds to their rideRTC account while they\u2019re out running errands, and it will be conveniently waiting for them once they\u2019re ready to purchase a pass.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>This new feature is a result of a partnership with rideRTC\u2019s platform provider Masabi and InComm Payments, a leading global payments technology company.<\/p>\r\n<p>Since its launch in September 2016, rideRTC has been downloaded more than 360,000 times, and customers have purchased more than 1.8 million passes on the app. rideRTC is available in the App Store and Google Play.
