Electronic Fareboxes
Sitting at the center of the AFC system, the electronic farebox can accept multiple payment types such as traditional bill and coins, smart cards and mobile apps with barcodes or QR code technology. It can also be used to collect detailed stop-level information to enhance passenger counting data. The standalone device scans electronic forms of payments and validates paper and coin transactions. Offer single or weekly fares, print transfers and more.
Smart Card Replaces Cash
Modern-day consumers appreciate the ease of using a pre-loaded card for transactions and have come to expect the same functionality from their transit agencies. As we move into a more cashless environment, consider adding the faring option of smart cards to enhance your riders’ transit experience. Riders can purchase and pre-load their cards at their convenience and even give cards as gifts.
Mobile Ticketing App on Smartphones
Make faring options even easier with the standalone smartphone app for bus fare payment. Riders are able to purchase any type of ticket and select their passenger type based on age, mobility, etc. They can transfer funds directly to their account. Drivers simply examine the phone’s screen to ensure payment is complete, or integrate with an in-vehicle reader system.
