The mobile phone: set to revolutionise e-ticketing and passenger information |
WEDNESDAY JUNE 11 |

Mobile phones are playing an increasingly important role in public transport. Realtime
schedule information, disruption alerts, journey planning, and finding nearby stops: will passenger information become even more
widely accessible through the use of mobile phones? Will
e-ticketing grow still further, with direct purchase and downloading of tickets and passes for multiple networks? Some of these
products are already available, while others are in testing. How will this work
out in practice for people as passengers and citizens in the future? What are the financial and organisational implications for local
authorities and operators? |
