Bus-Ticket
Ticketing can no longer be considered merely a tool for purchasing or validating a travel document. It is one of the most important touchpoints between the transport service and the citizen, and at the same time a strategic lever for improving organisation, control, revenue and the overall quality of the user experience.
Our digital ticketing solution was born to respond to this evolution. It is a platform designed to guide transport operators and companies towards a more modern, integrated and service-oriented model, capable of simplifying access to mobility, expanding sales channels, optimising internal processes and unlocking the value of system-generated data.
Account Based Ticketing
At the heart of the solution is an Account Based Ticketing (ABT) architecture, an advanced approach that overcomes the limitations of traditional models and makes travel document management far more flexible, centralised and efficient. The value of the ticket no longer resides in a single physical medium, but in the user's digital account, managed intelligently by the central system.
For the passenger this translates into a more natural, fast and accessible experience. For the operator it means greater control, greater capacity for evolution and an infrastructure ready to sustain service growth over time.
A fluid, intuitive and truly multichannel experience
The platform is designed to offer a simple, immediate and consistent experience across all channels: mobile app, online shop, QR code, smart card, NFC or contactless bank card. Every channel communicates with the same central engine, ensuring uniform rules, real-time updates and full continuity of experience.
A particularly valuable feature is the integration of EMV Transit mode, which allows access to the service simply by tapping a bank card on the validator: no mandatory registration, no advance purchase, no technological barriers.
Added to this is the ability to apply Best Fare logic, whereby the system automatically recognises the most favourable fare based on actual service usage.
More control, more efficiency, more value for the operator
The central system enables unified management of users, fares, contracts, travel documents, validations, subscriptions, sales channels, financial flows and operational permissions. Every operation is tracked, every function is configurable, every channel is monitorable.
The platform does not impose rigidity: it adapts to the service and supports its evolution.
A stronger and more digital sales network
Our platform integrates all the main sales channels — both digital and physical — into a single ecosystem. Mobile app and online shop shift sales towards more efficient, more user-friendly and more sustainable channels; ticket offices, resellers, POS and vending machines continue to play a key role in a truly multichannel strategy.
Integration with on-board systems and the ITS ecosystem
The solution integrates natively with on-board systems and the main ITS subsystems. The validator software recognises different media and access methods with fast response times and reliability even offline. Ticketing information can be correlated with AVM, passenger counting, inspection and reporting data.
Inspection also benefits from this integrated approach: smart devices and dedicated applications enable rapid verification of different ticket types, offline operational continuity and greater overall effectiveness of verification activities.
Smart payments and revenue reconciliation
BUS Ticket integrates omnichannel digital payment solutions: Smart POS and Soft POS on board, POS and Android devices at ticket offices and resellers, Virtual POS and e-commerce gateways for online channels.
- Single banking intermediary for all channels
- Simplified management of credits to the merchant IBAN
- Integration with Nexi, Worldline, Viva Wallet and Stripe
- Reconciliation between daily revenue and received transfers
Data, security and continuity
Security is a structural component of the system, not an accessory. This enables protection of users, transactions, financial data and operational processes, ensuring compliance, transparency and full control by the operator.
Simpler for travellers, more powerful for operators, smarter for the future of mobility.
