E-Ticket: Gemalto Transport offer

Gemalto is helping operators implement the e-ticket as a means to deal with some of the world’s most ambitious mass transit solutions. Major cities across the world are integrating our technology into their transport infrastructures.

e-ticketing speeds up mass transit

Travelers demand speed and convenience when it comes to fare payment and access to buses, trams and trains. Operators share those concerns and want to provide a high standard of service to passengers. By optimizing their fare system and deploying robust e-ticketing solutions they can generate additional revenue and reduce fraud.

Contactless technology and interoperable electronic ticket systems now provide an effective, fully-operational answer to both sides of the mass transit equation as well as helping to limit city congestion.

Today contactless ticketing is displacing magnetic tickets the world over. Passengers appreciate its ease of use and reliability, while for operators it is drastically reducing maintenance and ownership costs.

With over ten years’ experience in transport applications, unrivalled industrial capabilities, worldwide coverage and a commitment to innovation, Gemalto supplies a complete portfolio of contactless electronic tickets, including repeat use and one-time paper tickets.

France’s E TicketParis combines a dense subway (Metro) system, extensive municipal and commercial surface bus lines and a commuter rail service covering a wide suburban area.

The NAVIGO™ contactless pass, introduced in 2000, uses Gemalto’s dual-interface (contact and contactless) smart cards with Calypso microprocessor technology. The card is personalized with a photo ID, name and electric data and then mailed by Gemalto.
The 1.5 million NAVIGO™ passes now in circulation are usable right across the urban region’s metro, bus and rail systems.

   UK’s E TicketLondon has one of the largest contactless smart card initiatives in the world, changing the way people pay for travel on the subway (Tube), bus, Docklands Light Railway and Tramlink. The Oyster® branded cards cut out queuing and are quick and easy to use and recharge.

Gemalto is a key supplier, and has so far delivered over 10 million cards, helping smooth urban transport for over 8 million passenger-trips a day.

   Netherlands E TicketGemalto is supplying smart cards and associated personalization services for the Trans Link Systems project in the Netherlands. This is the world’s first deployment weaving a whole country’s different public transport modes into a single system and is destined to serve more than 80 % of the country’s public transit passengers.
A single contactless card will allow them to travel on ferries, buses, metros, trams and trains anywhere in The Netherlands.
The program’s pilot phase involves up to 1.4 million contactless cards, but a planned 12 million cards will ultimately be deployed. A forecast 2 million passengers or more per day will use the national transit system once it is fully implemented.

Brazil’s E TicketSPTrans of São Paulo operates one of the world’s busiest transit networks serving 6 million commuters daily. In 2002 it chose Gemalto to supply an e-ticketing solution to create an ultra-modern fare collection system, dramatically reducing fraud in the process.

Gemalto has so far delivered a total of over 7 million cards and was picked for its local manufacturing and personalization facilities, its high quality cards and its reliable supplies.

   Chili’s E TicketContactless technology was central to the renovation of Santiago de Chile’s mass transit system. First to benefit was the city’s subway, with more than 300 terminals and 160 reload points installed in 2003. E-ticketing was then extended to include Metrobus.

Today 8,500 buses are also equipped with contactless readers.The 5 million daily travelers can reload their cards at stations or at one of the 900 shops located around the city.

 

   Transantiago chose Gemalto’s e-ticketing solution because of earlier successful roll-outs in Latin America. They also appreciated our innovative semi-transparent card body, our ability to honor tight schedules, our capacity to handle complex projects involving other players and our local manufacturing and sales presence.

Gemalto delivered around 4 million cards for the Santiago transit system in 2006.
