The adoption rate of contactless payment and mobile ticketing is on the rise and has been driven by the health crisis. There are however riders that do not have a mobile phone or a bank card. They must be able to benefit from the same access to mobility as others.

To complement our digital solutions, we offer a wide range of physical media to cater for everyone’s needs.  

  

Our Smart Ticketing solutions include:

 

Paper tickets

As part our Open ABT solution, we recommend the use of paper QR code tickets that bring a cost-effective physical complement to a mobile ticketing solution. We produce our tickets in-house. They can be branded and personalized to your system. 

As the leading manufacturer of magnetic tickets, we can also provide you with this type of ticket which is still being used by millions of public transport users all over the globe.

Smartcards

With the Tap card in Los Angeles, the Metro card in New York, the Oyster card in London and the Navigo Pass in Paris - to name a few - we provide some of the most iconic smartcards in the world.

Commonly used for passes and concessions, smartcards also bring an alternative to users who do not have a mobile phone or a contactless bank card. All our smartcards can be fully personalized and mailed directly to the end users.

Cash acceptance

We know that a lot of riders continue to pay their transport ticket with cash because they do not have access to a credit card or even a bank account.

Everyone should have a convenient access to mobility and this is why we have developed innovative solutions for unbanked riders.
