Ticketing
|
| Electronic payment and electronic tickets | Electronic payments range from payments by bank debit, by credit card over mobile phones or by the use of smart cards. They offer passengers more flexibility and a broader choice of paying for their tickets, whilst adapting to a modern “electronic purse lifestyle”. Example: In Vienna, tickets can be ordered and paid for with a mobile phone. A text message has to be sent to a certain number and the ticket will be sent as a text message back to the mobile phone. The price of the ticket is then included in the monthly mobile phone invoice. Across the United Kingdom, Stagecoach has introduced the so called “tap and go” technology, which allows passengers to buy their tickets on-board with their bankcards. | For more information: Handy Fahrschein, Wien http://www.kaufenmitdemhandy.at/pdf/info_Wien(1).pdf Greener Smarter Together, Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2009, Stagecoach group, http://www.stagecoachgroup.com/scg/media/publications/policydocs/csr2009.pdf UK first as Liverpudlians pay the “Tap and Go” way, Stagecoach group http://www.stagecoachgroup.com/scg/media/press/pr2009/2009-10-26/?t=print | |
