HID: Streamline Transit Ticketing for Enhanced Ridership

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION

Transit agencies often face the challenge of accepting multiple ticketing technologies, including barcodes, NFC/RFID and EMV payments. This complexity can slow down boarding times and disrupt schedules, frustrating passengers and staff alike.

The Challenge: Ticket Reading Complexity

Transit systems today must support various ticket types, from printed and digital barcodes to RFID tokens and open-loop payments. With multiple ticket reading interfaces, confusion can arise, leading to delays and inefficiencies.

A Smarter Approach

HID’s multi-media TripTick reader interface simplifies ticket validation by offering a single point of presentation for all ticket formats. Passengers can use barcodes, closed-loop smart cards or contactless payments on devices such as the HID® VAL100 on-board validator, VAL150 platform validator or TripTick 220 OEM reader for fare gates. This streamlined approach enhances rider experience, accelerates boarding and keeps operations running smoothly.

Driving Efficiency and Ridership

Faster boarding and punctual departures enhance trust and reliability. When passengers experience a seamless, efficient process, ridership increases, benefiting both operators and the communities they serve.
For example, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority improved boarding times by deploying HID VAL100 validators with mobile ticketing.

Prioritize Payment Security

Ensure your payment system is secure by using validation hardware that complies with PCI 6.x standards. This compliance offers enhanced protection against modern security threats, safeguarding both passengers and operators – and is available in HID ticketing devices.
