LocoMobi Announces Rollout of New Innovative Apps for Users and Merchants ParkingPaid and RideRefund

Toronto, Canada, March 14, 2017 (Newswire.com) - LocoMobi, Inc., the leading technology company specializing in cloud-based parking, transit and tolling solutions, is pleased to announce the introduction of ParkingPaid and RideRefund mobile Apps that connect customers “ready to buy” with local merchants.

Using these new apps, merchants can offer new or prospective customers that are not within walking distance, to travel to their business by mass transit, shared ride or private car and the merchant will pay for all or a portion of the cost of travel.  The merchant specifies the minimum purchase requirement, product or service special or the hours when the ParkingPaid or RideRefund is applied.

To the user, it’s as easy as visiting the merchant, buying the product or service, opening the app and the merchant, through the app, will refund the promised portion of their cost of transit or parking which will be added to the user’s account or directly to their transit card.  

“It is estimated that there are over 50 billion annual trips on mass transit, shared ride or private vehicles today in North America,” said President and CEO Grant Furlane, who added, “because ParkingPaid and RideRefund is a real-time connection between people who are ready to purchase now and merchants immediate value will be created for participating merchants.”

The application’s “merchant interface” allows businesses to easily and continually design and change their offerings based on supply and demand. Because the interaction is through the app there is no need for coupons.

“The growth in online commerce and city populations and the use of all forms of transportation to move about a city will continue to accelerate,” adds Grant.  “Additionally, business travelers and tourists are visiting cities in increasing numbers so the opportunity for a local merchant to extend their reach by connecting directly to tourists such as the over 50 million visitors to Chicago each year is immense.”

These applications further LocoMobi Smart City offering to manage all facets of urban mobility and transportation.
