Ticketing Systems And Automated Fare Collection For Transit Systems

Описание: Vix Technology - a company that specialises in ticketing systems and automated fare collection for transit systems globally. Whilst the majority of their business is in Europe the company is delighted to have added the African continent to their portfolio, following their initial investment in South Africa a few years ago. Aaron, talks about what Vix does best, which is to deliver an improved customer journey through seamless transit. Vix, has a broad range of products and services, making it possible for customers to have certain elements based on their needs at the time and allowing for scalability as the customer grows and requirements change. The backbone, is the delivery of an end-to-end payment systems for transit customers, which includes everything from ticket vending machines, web point of sale, mobile applications, all the way through to the devices to tap against at the gate - and then the really important aspects of processing, clearing funds, accounting through to reconciliation. It is vitally important to take cash out of the transit system, to reduce not only the potential of fraud, but also the cost of banking cash, a cost that ultimately is passed onto the customer. We also touch on fare evasion and ways this can be countered. Aaron and I talk about the opportunities in Africa, rapid urbanisation, evolving technology, big data and solutions around the future of mobility, ticketing and automated fare collection and the integration with multiple mode transit providers, for example bus, train, taxi and uber. Vix technology has a number of BRT reference sites in South Africa and projects in more than 200 cities across the globe.
