Abstract: A method for automated fare processes includes a mobile device detecting transmissions from a beacon located on a vehicle. Based on the detected transmissions, the mobile device determines that it has entered the vehicle. Entry data including an entry time is stored by the mobile device. When the mobile device exits the vehicle, an exit data including an exit time is stored by the mobile device. A beacon identifier is also included in the entry data, the exit data, or both. Computation of a fare is initiated, where the fare is based on the entry data and the exit data.
