아래에 나열된 프로그램에 참여하는 기관 단체는 새로운 Wave 요금 시스템이 귀하에게 익숙한 사용자 친화적 환경을 유지하면서 동시에 프로그램을 더욱 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 새로운 기능들을 추가했다는 사실을 확인할 것입니다.
가장 주요한 변경 사항은 종이 이용권이 새로운 실물 Wave 카드로 대체되었다는 점이며, 이는 내구성이 뛰어나며 충전 가능한 플라스틱 스마트 카드입니다. 참가자는 프로그램에 등록되어 있는 동안 이 카드를 사용할 수 있습니다. 자격 요건을 더 이상 충족하지 못하면, 해당 카드는 자동으로 일반 탑승자 상태로 전환되며 새 카드나 계정 없이 계속 사용할 수 있습니다.
일부 기관 단체는 참가자들에게 Wave 모바일 앱으로 할인 요금 자격을 이용할 수 있는 옵션을 제공하여, 이를 통해 실물 카드를 배포하고 관리하지 않아도 됩니다.
Wave 요금 시스템이 귀하의 기관 단체에 미치는 영향에 대해 더 자세히 알고 싶거나, 참여 기관으로 가입하는 데 관심이 있으신 경우 아래 양식을 작성해 주십시오. OCTA 담당자가 추후 연락드리겠습니다.
OCTA는 각 참여 단체와 협력하여 관리자와 참가자 모두를 위한 트레이닝 및 교육 자료를 제공합니다.
