"Finally, a transit app that actually works! Using Apple Pay to grab my Park & Ride tickets has made my commute from Katy to Downtown so much smoother. No more fumbling for cards or standing at kiosks in the Houston heat."

"Perfect for getting around campus and the Museum District. I can buy multiple tickets for my friends when we head out, and the offline activation is a total game changer when service is spotty. Truly a must-have for anyone living in Houston."
