To drive the modal shift from cars to public transport, all modes of public transport have to be more convenient and better connected.
Today’s passengers want easy ways to combine different modes of transport, public or private, to create their ideal door-to-door journey – not just using buses and metros, but also first mile/last mile micro-mobility modes, such as scooters, ride hailing or park & ride options.
More importantly, they want an integrated and equitable “best fare” that covers the whole journey (city, region country wide) – and a convenient way of paying for everything, preferably their smartphone.
Hitachi Rail’s ticketing and payment solutions are scalable at city, region or nationwide level and can integrate several modes of transport such as bus, trams, ferries, metro, mainlines, and private mobility services to deliver a unified travelling and payment experience.
