InComm vice president of business development Michael Herold said: “Transit systems across the country are finding ways to make it easier for their riders to buy their transit cards on the go, and we’re happy to be the ones making that possible in Los Angeles.

“Through our partnership, riders will have more options to choose where to buy and reload their cards at the stores where they currently shop. This is also interesting for retailers, who now offer their customers yet another reason to come to their store.”

Processing an average of 24 million transactions monthly, TAP is one of the largest smart card systems in the US.

The programme offers a multimodal travel experience enabling riders to pay for trips on Metro and 24 additional transit agencies all through the Los Angeles County.
