The Xpress regional commuter transit service and Gwinnett County Transit are partnering with Token Transit beginning Jan. 4 to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Token Transit is a new mobile ticketing program that allows you to purchase Xpress and GCT fares without touching cash or kiosks. The app is free and available in both Apple and Google Play stores.

Both Xpress and GCT will be offering a 50% discount on the first Token Transit purchase made during January and February.

“With the health and well-being of our Xpress riders and drivers being our top priority, this mobile app will revolutionize how transit is doing its part to stop the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of others,” said Chris Tomlinson, Executive Director of the Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority.

Gwinnett County Transit Division Director Karen Winger says, “We’re thrilled to be offering a secure, safer payment option that reduces contact between GCT’s drivers, riders, and surfaces.”
