In the example PoP plan I've written I suggested Access-IS's VAL100 reader for the fare validators.It not only scans barcodes/QR codes printed on paper tickets, it also has a built-in NFC readers to allow for comparability with contactless cards, bank cards, etc. It would ensure full compatibility with the NFPS for the subway as well as maintain cheap and easy ways to sell single-use tickets. With a system like this, tickets and passes could be purchased and loaded onto a reusable tap card or through a travel account linked to your credit card, and the ticket machines can dispense paper tickets for everyone else. Barcode readers also unlock the possibility of adding new ticket sales channels, since anything that can print a barcode on a piece of paper can be a ticket. That means the railroads can sell print-at-home tickets or sell tickets a retail locations through something along the lines of lottery terminals. |
