Modernising Automated Fare Collection (AFC) systems is a priority for many transport authorities, but large-scale infrastructure upgrades can be costly, complex and slow to deliver.
This article, sponsored by Planeta Informática, explores minimum viable incremental infrastructure investment - a strategy that focuses on targeted improvements that deliver immediate value while supporting long-term transformation.

This piece explores the thinking behind this approach and why it is gaining attention as agencies plan the next generation of fare collection systems.
