Kotler said the RideART app was here to help make public and private transits around the city smoother and there was more on the way.
"Addition of companies such as Enterprise, Rent-A-Car, ability to buy Disneyland Resort tickets and some other functions," Kotler said.
The app stores all your tickets in one wallet.
