RideSD

We’re celebrating a HUGE win in our campaign to have Apple Pay and contactless credit/debit card payments supported by the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS)! Last September, we started our campaign for it to be be easier to pay for transit in San Diego. This past Thursday, MTS voted unanimously to approve RideSD’s recommended enhancements to the Pronto system. Soon you will be able to board a bus or trolley with the tap of your card and have a generous 2 hours of free transfers. Special thanks to Israel Maldonado and MTS staff for coming up with a great proposal that can be implemented quickly. And thank you to Stephen Whitburn, Monica Montgomery Steppe, Ronn Hall, and the rest of the MTS Board for voting in support. And a HUGE thanks to our RideSD members, supporters, and staff. Especially those who submitted public comment or spoke in-person at the MTS Board meeting. Shoutout to our Vice President Connor Proctor for speaking to the MTS board and KPBS. Implementation should be complete by March 2024, just in time to tap onto a Trolley to Padres opening day!
