METRO is launching a new mobile ticketing application for smart phones, and we are looking for volunteers to help us test the app before it is released to the public. By volunteering to be a beta tester, we ask that you agree to the following:
1) Actively participate in testing the mobile application.
2) Provide timely and relevant feedback about the app.
3) Be willing to purchase METRO tickets using your own credit or debit card (American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa).
4) Complete a survey about your experiences.
5) Adhere to Terms and Conditions when installing the app.To participate you must use an Android or iPhone with a certain version of operating system, ride METRO to some degree, and have a valid credit or debit card. If you are interested in participating in this test, please continue with the survey.
Note: We are limiting the number of participants and will try to fill certain quotas based on cell phone user experience and other criteria. Therefore, not everyone who applies will be selected to participate.
Click over to fill out the survey if you are interested. I’ve got a corporate-subsidized Q card or I’d give this a shot myself. I don’t know what the time frame is on this – I couldn’t find a news release about this, I heard about it via Streetsblog, so I’ve got no context for it. If you do know more about it, or if you give it a try, leave a comment and let us know about it.
