卡斯珀地區交通將為 ASSIST 和 LINK 公車實施電子票價系統

Casper Area Transit 正在為 ASSIST 和 LINK 公車過渡到新的電子票價系統。電子通行證將取代目前的 ASSIST 票證，掃描通行證將取代目前的 LINK 令牌

Casper Area Transit, both ASSIST (door-to-door service) and LINK (fixed route service), will soon begin using the electronic fare system for bus fare, as approved by Council last fall.

卡斯珀地區交通公司，包括 ASSIST（門到門服務）和 LINK（固定路線服務），很快就會開始使用電子票價系統來計算巴士票價，正如市政府去年秋天批准的那樣。

Casper Area Transit is transitioning to a new electronic fare system for the ASSIST and LINK buses. An E-Pass will replace the current ASSIST ticket and the Scan Pass will replace the current LINK token, in order for Casper Area Transit to better help its customers and also to eliminate extra expenses and handling processes from continuing to purchase non-reusable tickets and continually lost or unrecovered tokens. The electronic fare will also allow for more accurate data collection, which is required by the Federal Transit Administration for purposes of federal funding.

Casper Area Transit 正在為 ASSIST 和 LINK 公車過渡到新的電子票價系統。 E-Pass 將取代目前的 ASSIST 票，Scan Pass 將取代目前的 LINK 代幣，以便 Casper Area Transit 更好地幫助其客戶，並消除因繼續購買不可重複使用的車票而產生的額外費用和處理流程。不斷遺失或無法復原的令牌。電子票價還將允許更準確的數據收集，這是聯邦運輸管理局出於聯邦資金目的所要求的。

The reloadable electronic fare system will be beneficial to the bus patrons for various reasons. Specifically, if someone loses their Scan Pass, they can notify the Transit office, and all remaining fares on the pass will be able to be saved and transferred to a new pass. Whereas currently, if one loses their fare, or it is stolen, there is no way to recover that lost fare. Another benefit is that currently the Casper Area Transit system does not allow for month passes for any timeframe other than a monthly pass for the current month. The new Scan Pass will allow for a 30-day pass that will be effective from the date it is purchased, and multiple 30-day passes may be purchased so riders will not have to come to the Transit office to purchase their pass every month. A benefit specifically to the ASSIST riders is that the pass will be an E-Pass, so riders will not be required to have a pass on them, and the possibility of loss or theft will not be an issue. In addition, the need for the tickets to be passed from the caregiver to the rider and then the driver, will not be necessary.

可充值的電子票價系統將因多種原因而對公車乘客有利。具體來說，如果有人遺失了掃描通行證，他們可以通知交通辦公室，通行證上的所有剩餘票價都可以保存並轉移到新通行證上。然而目前，如果一個人丟失了票價或被盜，則無法追回丟失的票價。另一個好處是，目前卡斯珀地區交通系統除了當月的月票外，不允許任何時間範圍內的月票。新的 Scan Pass 將允許提供 30 天的通行證，該通行證從購買之日起生效，並且可以購買多個 30 天的通行證，這樣乘客就不必每個月都到交通辦公室購買通行證。 ASSIST 乘客的一個特別好處是通行證將是電子通行證，因此乘客不需要持有通行證，並且丟失或被盜的可能性不會成為問題。此外，不需要將票從護理人員傳遞給乘客，然後傳遞給司機。

Paper tickets for the ASSIST bus are no longer being disbursed and will not be accepted after Friday, May 31. The LINK buses began transitioning to the Scan Pass on July 1, current LINK tokens will continue to be accepted through Wednesday, July 31. Any outstanding ASSIST tickets or LINK tokens can be transferred onto the patron’s E-Pass or Scan Pass, if the tickets/tokens are turned in to the Casper Area Transit office, along with proof of purchase. The timeframe for receiving credit for these outstanding fares will only be for the month after that particular fare is no longer accepted, i.e. August 31st for LINK tokens.

ASSIST 巴士的紙質車票將不再支付，並且在5 月31 日星期五之後將不再被接受。之前繼續被接受。接收這些未付票價積分的時間範圍僅限於該特定票價不再被接受後的一個月，即 LINK 代幣的 8 月 31 日。
