(LaPorte, IN) - Riders of Transporte will be able to pay without cash in the future.  The city of LaPorte is moving toward a cashless system for its public transportation buses.  Debit and credit cards will be one option. Another is downloading a pass on your cell phone.

Beth West, Director of Transporte, said the cell phone pass can be shown to the driver to board a bus and the system being looked at is already being used in Valparaiso and Gary. West says a cash box is also being looked into for people to still pay with cash and receive correct change without engaging in exchanges with drivers.
