The open payment program between PATCO (Port Authority Transit Corporation) and Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc. has expanded with the acceptance of American Express contactless payment cards at all PATCO gates and parking terminals.
The people of New Jersey and Pennsylvania who ride PATCO will now be able to use American Express contactless payment cards, as well as cards from other major payment networks to make secure transit payments at PATCO.
“The people of New Jersey and Pennsylvania who ride PATCO are helping to design the transit payments systems of the future,” said Steve Shewmaker, president, Cubic Transportation Systems Worldwide.
This new extension of the PATCO open payment program will result in riders carrying fewer plastic payment cards in their purses and wallets and will move riders more quickly through PATCO’s stations.
