Digital Ticketing

Digital transformation in transport from four perspectives

Digital Ticketing goes beyond the bankcard powering business and empowering consumers to travel freely from door to destination across any mode through the convergence of ticketing and payment.

Travel on the up

Trusted and compliance

Cost effective and sustainable

Bright lights, big city

Future travel demands can only be met with digital technology

Passengers expect their payments to be secure and their data protected

Consumer and business services need innovative resource management and mobile technology

How can our transport infrastructure support 2.5 billion more people in our cities by 2050?

How can we help

Our Digital Ticketing end-to-end proposition is based on a thorough understanding of three key components, and the complex interplay between them:

Content
Passengers demand real-time, accurate travel information, available through multiple channels, so they can plan multimodal journeys before they set off. This data should be available online and on the go, on personal hand-held devices and on operator panels.

Payment
Travellers look for choice, flexibility and speed when it comes to paying and fulfilling public transport fares – whether by pre-paid travel cards, mobile technology, or by card or cash at stations, or in-travel.

Access
People want the freedom to get from start to end destination using any mode of transport, at any time – locally, nationally or internationally – and have integrated, intermodal ticketing systems to support less fragmented, more seamless journeys. Ideally, travellers want a seamless experience event though there might be several changes or modes of transport. And at the same time, they want to pay the best fare(s) for their end-to-end journey.

Travel for the masses: how do we keep up?

More and more of us are travelling. We travel further and more frequently, as populations grow and cities expand. At the same time, the way we choose, arrange and use travel services is increasingly technology-based. People have easier access to detailed travel information and are more comfortable making their travel arrangements independently and in transit. These changes create fundamental challenges that the industry must address.

The convergence of ticketing and payment for a seamless journey

Our society is witnessing the digital revolution of the ticketing industry from traditional ticket and card centric systems, where the fare media is supplied by the service provider, to ‘Open Loop’ and ‘ID-based’ systems that allow consumers to use contactless payment cards, smartphones or other digital IDs to access.
