Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure allow a universal access card, computing device, and/or application operating on a computing device to provide access and pay for multiple modes of transportation in a multi-segment journey. The universal access device may be provided by a centralized transportation management service, and may be used in conjunction with a mobile application on a computing device, to reserve a seat, plan a multi-segment journey across various modes of transportation and/or various transportation providers. When a user initiates a segment of the multi-segment journey by embarking on the first transportation provider, the universal access device provides access to the first transportation provider and may automatically provide payment to the first transportation provider. In monitoring the geo-location of the user, the universal access device can initiate access and payment to a second transportation provider when the user is ready to embark on a second segment of the multi-segment journey.
