“Rising Integration of E-Ticketing Systems with Mobile Applications”
- Transport authorities are increasingly integrating e-ticketing functions within mobile applications to enhance user convenience
- For instance, Transport for London (TfL) allows users to access e-tickets and travel history through its mobile app
- These apps often provide additional features such as real-time schedules, fare comparison, and GPS-based navigation
- Mobile-based ticketing significantly reduces reliance on paper tickets and physical kiosks, supporting eco-friendly goals
- In-app payments through digital wallets and UPI channels streamline the transaction process and reduce queue times
- Integration supports multimodal transport by enabling seamless transitions between buses, metros, and trains via one app
