Rail Ticketing - London Transport Network

by Alex Anderson on Jul 01, 2009

We’re using on-screen barcodes to show the ticket values for reading by automatic gates, or checking by the train guards who carry hand-held scanners.The ticket code can be transferred to the NFC element on compatible phones (like this nokia 6131) but this handset is the only mainstream GSM handset with NFC and we’ve not heard of others in the pipeline.Even when NFC services become mainstream, you will still need a secure interface to purchase entitlements, before they get transferred to the NFC element.
75% (roughly) UK airline tickets purchased online,Yet only 2% of heathrow express tickets bought on-lineBecause people only think and act on their public transport needs as they approach the station.Mobile can give every user their own ticket machine, that never has a queue.
