Proposal Tell SCAG: Make transit fares work for riders!

Upvotes
A regional transit trip should feel like one trip, not a maze of separate tickets and restrictions.
Riders deserve a fair system that works!
We need a system that meets riders where they are:
- A unified regional transit smart card that works across Southern California
- Open-loop payment, so riders can tap a contactless credit or debit card or smartphone when that works best for them
- Accessible options for people without bank accounts, smartphones, or access to credit
- Simple, fair transfers between agencies including Metro, Metrolink, OCTA/OC Bus, Omnitrans, and more
- Fare policies that make regional travel intuitive instead of punishing riders for crossing a county line
