Beginning January 4, 2021, Gwinnett County Transit riders will be able to use their cell phones to pay their fares, avoiding having to handle cash or cards.

This safe, secure fare payment option will reduce contact between GCT riders, drivers, and surfaces during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Under the new Token Transit program, patrons can purchase mobile tickets through the Token Transit App, which is free and can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play. From January to February 2021, users can get 50 percent off their first purchase in the app. For pass validation, customers must give the Token Transit App access to their smartphone's Bluetooth, then bring their phone near the validator on the dashboard so the mobile ticket can be detected.

The program will also be available on Xpress, which will offer a regional, contactless product that connects all of metro Atlanta.

In addition to mobile ticketing, Breeze Cards and cash will continue to be accepted as fare payment.
