New app makes it easier to buy railway tickets

The Virginia Railway Express (VRE) will launch their new VRE Mobile ticketing application tomorrow.

VRE is the first transportation system to offer an app in the area. Riders will be able to use the app to pay for their fares, but paper tickets will still be sold, said a release.

“VRE Mobile is part of our ongoing effort to make the commuting experience more convenient and today we take a significant leap forward for our passengers. We are excited to get VRE Mobile into the hands of our passengers, adding a new easy-to-use option to buy and use fares,” said VRE Chief Executive Officer Doug Allen in a release.

Here’s what the app lets you do, according to the VRE:

Purchase, store, use, and validate Single Ride, Day Pass, Five Day, Ten Trip and Monthly Passes right from the smartphone removing the need to keep track of paper tickets

Use SmartBenefitsSM to purchase tickets and passes

Use disability, senior and youth fares within the app

Use multiple tickets for multiple riders from a single smartphone

Split payment between two credit cards, or a credit card and SmartBenefitsSM account

Create an account and store information for future purchases and manage account information and purchase tickets that appear instantly on the phone through www.vre.org

Eliminates the need to stop at a VRE vendor location or a VRE ticket vending machine

Purchase Amtrak Step-up tickets for use with multi-ride VRE tickets on select Amtrak trains

The app is available for free on the iTunes App Store and Google Play.
