The rise of contactless and mobile services is facilitating more seamless consumer experiences across a number of verticals. For transport agencies, this is creating a number of new opportunities to enhance the traveller experience, tap into new revenues and collaborate with adjacent mobility service providers.

As many existing transport infrastructures are tied to inflexible proprietary systems, transport agencies have been unable to keep up with the pace of innovation and cross-industry partnerships have been complex. An open standards-based industry eradicates these challenges, empowering agencies to upgrade and enhance existing infrastructures in a time and cost-effective manner while enabling integration with adjacent services.
