As a member of the Pearl Consortium, which was recently awarded the smartcard ticketing contract by the New South Wales Government’s Public Transport Ticketing Corporation (PTTC), epay will ensure electronic transaction processing, including the distribution and selling of smartcards for adult, child and concession travel. epay will also provide reload services for customers via its retail network.
With the new ticketing system, customers will simply “tag on” using a smartcard at the start of their journey and “tag off” at the end, allowing the correct fare to be automatically calculated and deducted from the funds loaded onto the smartcard.
The electronic ticketing system will begin to be rolled out across Greater Sydney’s public transport network by the end of 2012.
