Excellent timing! I heard today December 8. That coincides with ETS Rider Appreciation Week so it would seem to check out.
WOOOOO! Fingers crossed it holds - thanks for keeping us posted with all things ETS :)

Wait, does the tap to pay also include using your phone as an arc card? That's what I really want.
Not as an actual Arc Card no, but you can use a debit/credit card that's stored in google/apple wallet. Each will have a separate cap though, so if you tap your physical debit card in the morning and then tap your phone—with that same card stored in google wallet—in the afternoon, you'll have contributed $3.00 each toward two separate fare caps.
