Los Angeles transit officials are targeting the end of the year to launch a “mobility wallet,” offering subsidized fares for low-income riders–including 1,000 users of open-loop payments. The trial is part of a larger program to expand transportation options for low-income city residents. That also includes subsidizing payments with closed-loop cards.
