Transit Fare Payment System Technology 25 Fare Media and Readers Fare media are the physical instruments that a rider uses to access the transit system.15 Transit agencies may decide to accept several different fare media, to accommodate legacy systems, multiple transit modes, or to meet certain fare policy objectives. Although this report focuses on the benefits of contactless smart cards, mobile phones and other electronic devices over other fare media, it also discusses magnetic stripe technology due to its current widespread use in public transit.
