Creating an app-based NFC mobile fare medium on iOS has long been seen by the transport industry as the “Holy Grail” of mobile ticketing, according to the company.
Fare Connect combines the power of moovel’s proven mobile ticketing software with the speed and simplicity of contactless technology to make boarding convenient and simple.
The company's PROXmobil3 readers are fully capable of accepting open payments — contactless credit cards, debit EMV, and near-field communication devices — a goal that aligns with OCTA’s future plans.
The new fare gates will employ near field communication technology, allowing riders to tap their credit cards, government IDs, or smartphones and have the fare immediately deducted from their accounts. While the pilot program appeared to work effectively for the few who used it, Metro conceded testing across media was insufficient.
Philadelphia region commuters will soon be able to stop counting coins in order to use public transit once the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) rolls out its new chip-enabled fare payment system.
Less than half the size of a standard car key fob, oti's WAVE device uses the audio jack as an easy and cost-effective way to add NFC capability to smartphones or tablet, including Apple iPhones, iPads, and Android-based mobile devices.
Installation of new fare gates, bus and parking payment targets for the pilot will begin in October. Metro will begin recruiting customers to participate in the pilot within a matter of weeks.
Will provide a variety of payment options: transit-only smart card, contactless bank card and a smartphone with Near Field Communications. The transit agency expects the new system to begin serving the Portland metropolitan area in 2017.
The mobile tickets incorporate a QR Code which can be read by INIT’s PROXmobil2 readers installed on the new MetroRapid BRT buses.
The platform will be demonstrated at the APTA Annual Meeting on Monday at Cubic’s booth #804.
