For domestic schemes, open payments in transit are an urgent priority. As a game-changer with the potential for increased revenue, enhanced customer loyalty, and innovative leadership, the benefits are too significant to ignore. Domestic schemes need to prioritize this to remain competitive and relevant in the market.
Interoperability paves the way for innovation. A unified ticketing network with pooled resources can enable investment in technologies that would typically be beyond the means of a single operator. This investment can create operational efficiencies, drive new streams of revenue, and help safeguard key payments and passenger movement data. This helps create a seamless, accessible and inclusive ticketing network that meets the needs of all passengers.
