Transport Ticketing 2012

320 attendees, 160 transport operators, 20 exhibitors, 50 speakers all over 3 days – Ladies and Gentlemen thank you for being part of the world’s largest transport ticketing and fare collection event – Transport Ticketing 2012.

Last week saw the largest gathering of transport operators from around the world come together with their industry peers in fare collection and ticketing technology. Senior representatives from local transport authorities from over 28 nations joined us for this sold out event, including colleagues from Australia, Japan, South Africa, Jamaica, Nigeria and India.

With a scene setting speech from Norman Baker, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport, the congregation went on to hear from the industry leaders moving the ticketing sector forward and from the operators themselves as they gave the industry an insight into their own ticketing strategies; from building the business case, deploying the programme, overcoming unforeseen obstacles and maximizing user uptake and adoption.

Perhaps one of the most unexpected conversations developed around the use of social media as the best means to be interacting with your customers and improving customer loyalty, as Stagecoach is pioneering this across the UK.

The topic of conversation which stole the show was of course EMV contactless ticketing ahead of TfL’s plans to roll-out open-loop payments across London buses this year. TfL, Mastercard and Cubic provided the theoretical, practical and technical insight into each stage of deploying such a large programme. And then of course mobile ticketing – moving ticketing on the next big payment platform. We heard of case study examples from across Europe from operators who have embraced this means of payment.

Transport Ticketing Themes

Over the last year we have worked with over 50 companies to define the main themes shaping the transport ticketing industry. We established 6 key themes which the sector was tackling and structured the programme around these to optimize discussion and movement on these issues.

The themes defined are:

• The development of smart cards across Europe
• The future of open-loop, EMV payment systems
• Building an interoperable ticketing system across Europe
• Mobile handsets as the next platform for transport ticketing
• Putting the passenger at the heart of your ticketing programme
• Utilizing your data and maximizing your ticketing security
