In automated fare collection systems, there is no need for ticket counters, thereby increasing the convenience and saving time for travelers. Even for transport authorities, due to such automated solutions, there is an ease of operation in terms of ticket distribution, checking and also aids in cost minimization.
Due to such factors, various transit authorities are increasingly adopting automated fare collection solutions. An example of automated fare collection system is the smartcard. Smartcards systems make the fare payment faster and it is easy for the commuters to operate. Fare payment transactions through these technologies are three to five times faster than dropping tokens into acceptors or manual paying for the tickets.

Get a Customized VersionImplementation cost of automated fare systems may dissuade transport authorities from adopting the technology and it can be economically impractical for authorities to offer services to a small number of commuters. These factors are expected to adversely hamper demand for the technology over the forecast period.
Implementation of the technology involves installation of a number of hardware and software components such as fare gates, cards, handheld devices, station computer systems, central computer systems, mobile application software, integration software etc. and these are likely to incur high initial costs of setup and deployment.
Upcoming transit infrastructure projects in emerging and mature economies represent potential opportunities for automated fare collection solution providers. In addition, opportunity for providing support services during and after installation of the system will present itself as more and more transit companies adopt the technology.
India’s 100 Smart City project is set to use different modes of transportation involving Metro projects, Monorail, Light Rail Transit (LRT), Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), and Metrino driverless pods. These projects are expected to comprise installed automated fare systems because a large number of commuters are expected to use these services.
