HANDS-FREE TRAVEL Once you check in, intelliTicket follows your journey in the background. Board, change lines, and get off — the app works out where you travelled and what it costs. No tapping, no queuing, no guessing which fare product you need. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN, AS YOU TRAVEL Once you're checked in, your journey appears on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: your route, where you're headed, the stop you're at and the one coming next. It updates as you travel, and it works whether or not the app is open — glance at your phone and you know where you are. intelliTicket also lets you know the moment it checks you in and checks you out, so you're never left wondering whether your journey was recorded. PROOF OF FARE, INSTANTLY If a fare inspector asks to see your ticket, intelliTicket shows a live proof-of-fare card issued by the transit operator at that moment. Nothing to unlock, screenshot, or dig out of your bag — just hold up your phone. ON-DEMAND RIDES Where scheduled service doesn't reach, request a ride from the On-Demand tab. Pick your stop on the map, send the request, and follow the vehicle as it comes to you. YOUR TRIPS, ON THE RECORD Every journey is listed with its route, its legs, and the times you were on board. Export your trip history as a PDF whenever you need it — expense reports, reimbursement, or just your own records. ABOUT LOCATION AND BLUETOOTH intelliTicket uses your location and Bluetooth in the background so it can tell when you board and leave a vehicle without you having to open the app. That is what makes hands-free fare collection possible: if the app can't see your journey, it can't charge you correctly for it. You can review or change these permissions at any time in Settings. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. intelliTicket works with participating transit operators. Check with your local agency for availability.
