卡斯珀地区交通将为 ASSIST 和 LINK 公交车实施电子票价系统

Casper Area Transit 正在为 ASSIST 和 LINK 公交车过渡到新的电子票价系统。电子通行证将取代当前的 ASSIST 票证，扫描通行证将取代当前的 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.

卡斯珀地区交通公司，包括 ASSIST（门到门服务）和 LINK（固定路线服务），将很快开始使用电子票价系统来计算巴士票价，正如市政府去年秋天批准的那样。

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 正在为 ASSIST 和 LINK 公交车过渡到新的电子票价系统。 E-Pass 将取代当前的 ASSIST 车票，Scan Pass 将取代当前的 LINK 代币，以便 Casper Area Transit 更好地帮助其客户，并消除因继续购买不可重复使用的车票而产生的额外费用和处理流程。不断丢失或无法恢复的令牌。电子票价还将允许更准确的数据收集，这是联邦运输管理局出于联邦资助目的所要求的。

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.

可充值的电子票价系统将因多种原因而对公交车乘客有利。具体来说，如果有人丢失了扫描通行证，他们可以通知交通办公室，通行证上的所有剩余票价都可以保存并转移到新通行证上。然而目前，如果一个人丢失了票价或被盗，则无法追回丢失的票价。另一个好处是，目前卡斯珀地区交通系统除了当月的月票外，不允许任何时间范围内的月票。新的 Scan Pass 将允许提供 30 天的通行证，该通行证从购买之日起生效，并且可以购买多个 30 天的通行证，这样乘客就不必每个月都到交通办公室购买通行证。 ASSIST 乘客的一个特别好处是通行证将是电子通行证，因此乘客不需要持有通行证，并且丢失或被盗的可能性也不会成为问题。此外，不需要将票从护理人员传递给乘客，然后传递给司机。

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 巴士的纸质车票将不再支付，并且在 5 月 31 日星期五之后将不再被接受。LINK 巴士于 7 月 1 日开始转换为 Scan Pass，当前的 LINK 代币将在 7 月 31 日星期三之前继续被接受。如果将门票/代币连同购买凭证一起交给卡斯珀地区交通办公室，则未结清的 ASSIST 门票或 LINK 代币可以转移到顾客的电子通行证或扫描通行证上。接收这些未付票价积分的时间范围仅限于该特定票价不再被接受后的一个月，即 LINK 代币的 8 月 31 日。
