fare media

Fare media refers to the various tools used to pay for transportation services, such as buses, trains, or subways. Common examples include paper tickets, contactless cards, mobile apps, or smart cards. These media allow passengers to access and board transit systems efficiently. Fare media can be purchased or loaded with value before travel, and some systems automatically deduct fares upon entry or exit. They help streamline fare collection, reduce cash handling, and improve passenger convenience and system security. Overall, fare media are the methods travelers use to pay their fare and access transit services conveniently.
