Freedom Card – Philly, Jersey: Karen

  • 2007 Pilot Program as Teaser
  • Just rail, not bus
  • Touch card, not swipe
  • Demonstrations at end of day with opportunity to register and get card
  • CONVENIENCE, no longer need multiple fares
  • Web site was huge

Advice

  • People think they know what they’re doing, but they don’t.  And they don’t read.  Get in front of them at stations with events and guerilla
  • Use incentives, that’s what Philly did.  Have contests
  • Cards should be FREE at first
  • Have excellent, simple FAQs readily available
  • No TV, No Radio (same as DC)
  • Have press events whenever can
  • Routine goers will get it, the occasional rider won’t and will cause problems
