Upgrading to modern ticketing technology provides many benefits over maintaining older fare collection methods. Now is the time for transit authorities and operators to move toward a mobile-friendly ticketing system that meets customer expectations and enhances the passenger experience. 

HID TripTick™ — The Key to Better Passenger Experiences and Throughput

Boarding delays can result when passengers have difficulty deciding where or how to present a ticket or pay a fare. This can also cause unnecessary passenger frustration, impact schedules, and create reputational damage to the transportation authority.
