DDOT bus transit customers can purchase
self-serve bus passes, and receive loaded fare cards,
at two Detroit locations
DETROIT, May 10, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Diversified Data Processing & Consulting,
Inc. ("DivDat" or the "Company"), announced today its ongoing
support of its customer, the Detroit Department of Transportation
and their riders, by providing new self-service walk-up Bus Pass
Dispensers that allow DDOT customers to easily purchase bus passes
by cash or card, receive instant payment confirmation and printed
official receipt, and which dispense the corresponding fee-specific
bus pass from the dispenser unit attached to the payment kiosk.
Reduced fare passes are available for eligible riders to purchase
via DivDat's Bus Pass Dispenser-equipped Kiosks. More than 2,000
DDOT bus passes have been purchased and distributed since DivDat's
Bus Pass Dispenser was first made available on a limited basis, in
December 2022.
The Detroit Department of Transportation is the largest public
transit provider in Michigan,
serving the city of Detroit, its
surrounding suburbs, and neighboring cities. DDOT provides reliable
and efficient service to an average of 85,000 riders daily. Acting
on feedback from users, DDOT partnered with DivDat to develop and
implement the bus pass dispenser adjunct to its bill payment kiosks
in an effort to provide additional self-service options to
consumers.
DDOT riders seeking a self-service way to purchase DDOT bus
passes may do so at the following locations.
The Rosa Parks Transit Center:
1310 Cass Ave.
Detroit, MI 48226
