Valley Metro riders can now buy their tickets online; they just need to download the app. 

1-Ride and 1-Day passes will be available at full and reduced prices.

Other amenities will be offered, such as real-time tracking of the bus or light rail, as well as service alerts and updates.

The online tickets must be scanned when entering the bus or light rail platforms in order to be activated.

The app does indeed take Google and Apple Pay options.
