Open Payments in Transport Seminar 18th October 2011

Guoman Hotel, Charing Cross, London

18 October 2011

 

Transport operators around the UK have discovered that there are many challenges that need to be overcome to make open payments in transport a reality, but a significant amount of work has been undertaken that provides encouragement that this will be a reality in the not too distant future, both technically and commercially.  This seminar will provide some insight into the work that is ongoing at TfL. 

Delegates will end the day with an understanding of the the philosophy behind a fare collection system that accepts ITSO products and EMV based payment cards, and a detailed understanding of what is necessary to design and implement such a system.
