As announced, Cash App will integrate with the current use of MyJTA powered by Moovit. The added mobile payment option will be offered by Token Transit, JTA’s partner for its mobile payment service.

The belief by JTA is that by offering Cash App as a form of payment, more customers can take advantage of the MyJTA app.

According to JTA, users can now select “Cash App” when selecting a method of payment at checkout. This will then prompt to connect their MyJTA account to their Cash App account.

Cash App will become a flexible mode of payment for fixed bus routes, First Coast Flyer rides, ReadiRide trips, Clay County Flex routes and St. Johns River Ferry rides. This option will also be accepted on Gameday Xpress rides to Jacksonville Jaguars games and other select events at EverBank Stadium.
