COMPASS CARD
Coming soon to the San Diego region is the Compass Card - an innovative,
plastic "smart card" designed to streamline and expedite fare collection
for regional transit. Compass Card will be accepted on all NCTD transit
services. Cardholders will be able to load cash value onto the cards -
even linking them to a checking account to ensure automatic renewal. The
Compass Card will allow riders to pay their fares, much like a debit
card, simply by touching the card to a specially designed validator box
at train stations and on fare boxes in buses. For updated information, visit www.compasscard.org.
