About

UITP Academy is launching the training program on Ticketing and Fare Management (with a focus on open-loop payment) between 6-8 November 2023 with Regional Training Center, New Jersey Transit.  The course will be 3 days including classroom-based sessions and international case studies.

Ticketing is the key for public transit agencies to collect fares from the passengers. Nowadays, the increasing use of technology supports the need for various fare types, and payment methods transforming from classic paper tickets to contactless cards and smartphones, while opening up endless opportunities for data collection and analysis. The challenge starts with keeping up with available options such as closed-loop vs open-loop, card-centric vs system-centric, prepaid vs post-paid, account-based ticketing, open payment, SIM-centric mobile ticketing, etc.

With the aim to improve operational efficiency and adapt to new challenges in fare management and ticketing, the course aims at:

  • Understand, analyze, and discuss available ticketing systems and fare management trends
  • Giving a worldwide overview of practices and solutions in ticketing
  • Lay the basis of tariff structures, pricing, and fare policy, essential to the design of a ticketing solution
  • Detailing the different technologies and solutions on the market
  • Discuss the opportunities created by account-based and mobile ticketing and learn from practice on their implementation

The course will

  • introduce the principle of open-loop payment and help participants take the first steps to outline a concept for their transit agency.
