The potential of digital ticketing system for public transport 

February 9, 2017

A Ticketing system that  meets the requirements of transport companies and bus carriers is vital for uniting systems of Electronic Fare Collection and GPS satellite tracking of vehicles, additionally monitoring basic telemetry data such as speed, temperature, engine RPM and fuel level. Based on that data it is possible to monitor the entire fleet of vehicles, allowing transport companies to fully control its vehicles and provide greater safety and comfort for its passengers and transported goods.

Digital transformation in the ticketing system 

 Electronic cards payment is a set of systems and devices that are used for selling and billing tickets for electronic card control. This system allows ticket sales and electronic cards control inside the bus and outside the bus. The systems are adapted to customer needs and can be combined in various ways for better efficiency

Passengers do not need to carry money, and with cards that can top themselves up automatically there is no need to add pre-payments to card. Cheaper fares with pre-pay and contactless solutions are an incentive to take-up, as is multiple transit system validity and cards’ ability to calculate and charge the cheapest possible fares.
  • For transit operators the advantages include dispensing with printing physical tickets and operate ticket offices, freeing up staff for other roles. Meanwhile the data cards gives improved insights into journey patterns, including multimodal public transit use.

Fleet management and telemetry represent systems and devices that can perform complete planning, implementation and control of all aspects of the vehicle and driver. From monitoring of the vehicle, its fuel consumption, utilization, planning vehicle to a complete dispatch center that provides complete planning and implementation of all the lines and departures. This system allows bus operators to have full control and all information related with their fleet.

Fuel costs control

Fuel costs control is a collection of devices and systems with which it is controlled fuel costs starting from the initial filling of the vehicle to the fuel consumption during vehicle operation.

Online ticket sales
