The Future of Ticketing

Ticketing as a Service (TaaS)

In the quest for efficiency, security, and accessibility in ticketing systems, innovative Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions have emerged. Ticketing-as-a-Service (TaaS) is setting a new standard by streamlining operations for transit agencies and offering riders a glimpse into the future of fare payments.

For Agencies

For public transit agencies, the benefits of adopting TaaS are compelling. The cloud-based nature of the system ensures fast and easy implementation, allowing for quick and straightforward fare structure adjustments. Transit companies can manage fares and access real-time sales and revenue data through a simple browser application, providing them with valuable insights into passenger behavior and revenue streams. This accessibility to data empowers transit companies to make informed decisions that can enhance operational efficiency and profitability.

Moreover, TaaS's compatibility with existing ticketing systems and its support for multi-channel strategies offer transit companies a flexible and scalable solution to reduce cash handling and optimize sales efficiency. By integrating TaaS, transit companies can provide a more streamlined and efficient service, encouraging increased ridership and improving the sustainability of public transportation systems.

For Passengers

For passengers, the TaaS system represents a new era of convenience and affordability. By leveraging cutting-edge EMV (Europay, Mastercard, and Visa) contactless payment technology, passengers can effortlessly purchase their tickets through a simple tap of their debit card, credit card, or smart device on a ticket terminal upon boarding the vehicle. This seamless interaction eliminates the need for physical tickets or pre-purchasing, facilitating a smoother and faster boarding process that enhances the overall travel experience.

One of the most significant advantages of the TaaS system for passengers is its intelligent fare capping feature. By automatically calculating the most economically-friendly fare for the passenger's journey, the system ensures that passengers never overpay for their travel. This means that regardless of how many trips a passenger takes, they are guaranteed to benefit from the lowest possible fare without the hassle of comparing prices or purchasing specific tickets in advance. This approach not only simplifies the ticketing process but also promotes greater use of public transportation by making it more cost-effective and user-friendly.
