Public transport users today expect access systems that are fast, simple to use, and flexible. The answer lies in contactless or dual-interface cards, i.e. cards with contactless or contact-based interfaces, a cost-effective and efficient option.
Advantages for the card user
Users' access to the applications simply involves passing by the card reader. This allows for considerably higher throughput rates, especially where transport systems with high passenger volumes are concerned. For cardholders, this makes waiting in line a thing of the past, and the public transport systems become altogether more convenient to use.
Advantages for the operator
Using automatic ticket systems enables operators to save time and personnel costs and means fare collection can be organized much more efficiently. Further advantages are the low cost of maintenance the systems entail and a reduction in fraud-induced losses.
Dual interface cards
Dual interface cards combine all the advantages of contactless cards with those of contact-based cards. They provide high, reliable transaction speeds and guarantee secure transmission of data between smart card and reader unit. G&D offers an extensive range of products for multifunctional applications, with contactless and dual interface cards that can be easily and flexibly integrated into existing systems.
