Ratings and reviews

Downloaded the app, but it won't take any form of payment. I tried 3 different credit cards, including Google payments. Took about 10 minutes of fumbling before I just paid by card at the meter. What a world app, when there is always an error adding a payment method. Had a 2nd person try too...same issue. I think the app is dead.

This app has a lot of issues. It's the only payment accepted by our commuter rail network so I have to use it for my commute. Every month I get a bill for missed payment, sometimes for multiple days in a week. I'll accept that I may forget one day on occasion but multiple days in a row? Absolutely not. I get stuck paying a surcharge because my payment isn't going through, even though I wait for the confirmation screen to appear before closing the app. It's very frustrating.

WARNING!!!! ​While the app functions well, the SMS notification fees are very misleading. Users are charged $0.15 to $0.25 per text message for expiration warnings then again after it's expires. Then again if you entend your time, basically you get tricked into paying for a bunch of SMS fees. The disclaimer 'fees may apply' usually refers to standard carrier rates, so I didn't realize I was being billed directly for months and months. This on top of the convenience fee that's already charged.
