Jacksonville Transportation Authority customers can now use Cash App, a mobile payment service, to pay for transit services on the MyJTA mobile app.
JTA says it is the first transit agency in the country to offer Cash App for mobile ticketing.
JTA CEO Nathaniel Ford said the authority is always looking for new ways to improve the rider experience.
“With JTA being the first transit agency in the country to offer Cash App integration, it further solidifies our commitment to providing easier ways for our community to ride with us, and makes our services more accessible than ever before through the MyJTA app,” Ford said in a news release.
When selecting a method of payment at checkout, users select “Cash App,” then they are prompted to connect their MyJTA account to their Cash App account.
JTA customers can then pay for fixed bus routes, First Coast Flyer, ReadiRide, Clay County Flex and St. Johns River Ferry rides via Cash App. This option also willbe available on Gameday Xpress rides to Jacksonville Jaguars games and other events at EverBank Stadium.
