The Kaua‘i Bus has launched an Account-Based Ticketing system that allows passengers to pay fares using the Kaua‘i Bus mobile app or the Holomua smartcard. Riders can tap to board without selecting a fare in advance, as the system automatically calculates the lowest possible fare, according to the County of Kauai.
The Kaua‘i Bus has launched a new Account-Based Ticketing system that includes fare capping, ensuring riders are not charged more than the monthly maximum. Open Payments will be added later this year, allowing payments with contactless bank cards or mobile wallets. Riders can manage their accounts through a mobile app or online portal, while cash users can continue to load funds onto their Holomua cards at retail locations or the Kaua‘i Bus office. Mayor Derek S.K. Kawakami said, “This launch is a major step forward in our mission to make public transportation on Kaua‘i easier, more accessible, and more modern. Mahalo to our team with the Kaua‘i Bus and Masabi for launching this service for our community,” as reported by the County of Kauai.
The Kauaʻi Bus has launched an Account-Based Ticketing system that automatically calculates the most cost-effective fare for riders and enforces a monthly fare cap of $50.00, or $25.00 for reduced-fare riders. “We're delighted to deepen our partnership with The Kauaʻi Bus supporting the roll out Account-Based Ticketing and bringing smarter, more efficient payment options to riders,” said Brian Zanghi, CEO of Masabi. Schedule information and rider assistance are available on the Kauaʻi Bus website and Facebook page, as stated by the County of Kauai.
