LA Big blue bus 리뷰(모바일티켓 구매, 미국 구글 플레이스토어 계정 생성)

저번에 DMV에 다녀올 때, LA big blue bus도 이번 기회에 이용해보고 후기를 남겨보기로 결심하고 타봤다. 소감부터 말하자면 이용도 매우 편하고 내부도 쾌적하고 깨끗했다. 혹시나 노숙자를 만나지 않을까 긴장했지만 지하철과 달리 버스 기사가 앞에 있어서인지 노숙자는 없었고 주로 노인이나 대학생이 많았다.

빅블루버스는 LA 주요 지점을 지나는 노선버스다. 현시점에서 노선은 총 18개 노선(16개 노선+2직행)이다. 이 중 UCLA가 종점인 노선만 4개로 UCLA에서는 학생+교직원을 대상으로 Monthly pass 프로모션도 진행하는 것으로 알고 있다. 도착 시간은 맞지 않는 편이지만 배차 간격이 10분 정도로 짧기 때문에 굳이 도착 시간에 맞춰 나갈 필요가 없다. 승차권은 1회권이 1.1달러로 저렴한 편이다. 그리고 Tap 카드가 있으면 대중교통 간 환승도 가능하다. 빅블루버스끼리 환승할 경우 2시간 무료 환승을 지원한다. 한국과 다른 점은 환승할 때 같은 번호의 버스로 갈아타도 무료 환승이 된다! (예: 1번에서 1번으로 환승) 빅블루버스 이외의 metro버스나 metrorail로 환승할 경우 운임 0.5달러가 추가된다. 만약 SDM에 속할 경우 티켓 가격 할인을 받을 수 있다. S: Senior, 만 62세 이상, 여권이나 미국 운전면허로 증명 가능 D: Disabled, 장애인, 미국 장애인 카드 필요 M: Medicare, 미국 저소득층 의료보험 대상자인 데이패스, 일주일권, 한 달권, 일년권 등 multi-ride passes도 있다. 무료 환승도 고려해서 본인의 여행 스케줄에 적합한 것으로 사면 될 것 같아. 빅블루버스는 LA 주요 지점을 지나는 노선버스다. 현시점에서 노선은 총 18개 노선(16개 노선+2직행)이다. 이 중 UCLA가 종점인 노선만 4개로 UCLA에서는 학생+교직원을 대상으로 Monthly pass 프로모션도 진행하는 것으로 알고 있다. 도착 시간은 맞지 않는 편이지만 배차 간격이 10분 정도로 짧기 때문에 굳이 도착 시간에 맞춰 나갈 필요가 없다. 승차권은 1회권이 1.1달러로 저렴한 편이다. 그리고 Tap 카드가 있으면 대중교통 간 환승도 가능하다. 빅블루버스끼리 환승할 경우 2시간 무료 환승을 지원한다. 한국과 다른 점은 환승할 때 같은 번호의 버스로 갈아타도 무료 환승이 된다!

To get on the Big bluebus, you can pay the fare in three ways. 1)I bought a Tap card, a transportation card that works in LA, charged the amount (taptogo.net , on-site purchase) 2) generated a mobile tap card and purchased a separate ticket (using the Tap app) (Google Wallet, Taptogo.net , on-site purchase). 1.

There is an app that can be downloaded and used only in the U.S., but there are also functions that can only be used with an U.S. account. Tapapp can only download U.S. accounts from Google Play Store. To purchase a big blue bus ticket from Google Wallet, you must log in with your US account. Therefore, first of all, I created an American account in Google Play Store. Just because you downloaded the app using your U.S. account, the app you downloaded from your existing Korean account will not be affected, so you can receive it with confidence. Personally, I was worried that the Korean bank app might be affected, but it works well without colliding with the U.S. bank app downloaded from the U.S. account. First of all, you have to add a new account to the existing Google Play Store. In this process, there is no national selection process, so you can just create an account easily, or use it if you have a remaining Google account.

After logging in with the newly created account, you can switch to the U.S. Play store by adding payment methods in the settings. At this time, Korean credit cards can also be registered, but the address and zip code must be the address of the U.S. I don’t think it matters whether it’s the real address or not!

The disadvantage is that you can’t change trains when you buy a one-time ticket/ten-time ticket instead of a pass.

3. Buy Big bluebus ticket with Tapcard app 3. Buy Big bluebus ticket with Tapcard app

Tap is an official app created by big blue bus. The advantage is that you can charge your virtual card and use it as much as you want, and transfer for two hours without purchasing a pass. The disadvantage is that you need to download additional apps and register as a member, and if you don’t use them for 14 days, the virtual card will be disabled and you need to re-activate it. In fact, it seems that inactivation is not a disadvantage for tourists who come on trips. If you don’t use it for 14 days, it doesn’t apply to registering and using the actual card, so I applied for the actual card as well. (Free application and delivery in the U.S.) Preparations: You can download the Tap card app by changing to a U.S. account from the Tap app Google Play store.

The fee can be charged freely in units of one dollar, and pass can be added. If you access the app, it will tell you which buses are around you based on my current location! I’m quite accurate, so I don’t have to run so I won’t miss the bus 4. Use Tapapp on Big Blue Bus The fee can be charged freely in units of one dollar, and pass can be added.

Just make sure your mobile phone has only card mode! When you take a picture of the back of your cell phone when you board the bus, the tap card is automatically activated and paid. By the way, I’m worried, so when I put all the tapapps on and see the cards, I get on the ww bus with my cell phone in front and one on the right, and the sky blue frame like the one in the picture below is a tap card device! I didn’t know well at first, so I brought it to another terminal several times, but the bus driver told me Just make sure your mobile phone has only card mode!

If you use a tap card to ride occasionally, you must use a physical card. This is because if you don’t use the virtual card for two weeks, it will become inactive and it will be very troublesome to reactivate it. I have to call customer support… My virtual card is currently inactive and I contacted customer support via email, but I asked them to transfer the balance to physical card and send it to me, and it is currently being delivered. I heard that if I buy a physical card offline, the card fee and the charge fee are separate, but I didn’t charge any additional fee from customer support (good value?), so I’m going to save this card number on tapapp and go through. If you do this, you won’t be able to activate it, and you can use big blue bus only with your cell phone! If you remember later, you have to add physical card registration to the sentence If you use a tap card to ride occasionally, you must use a physical card.
