case study
Building on success Following the successful deployment of the kiosks , the York by Bus smartcard scheme was officially introduced on 8th November 2016 amidst much excitement . Councillor Ian Gillies , Executive Member for Transport and Planning for CYC , commented : “ The introduction of the York by bus smartcard will allow passengers to simply tap and go when they board the bus . We hope that this will make bus travel even more attractive and further boost bus passenger numbers .”
Managing Director of First Bus York , Marc Bichemann , was also quick to herald the success of the TVM ’ s and the smartcards : “ I think it will make bus travel a lot easier . People can be a lot more flexible with their tickets and it will make boarding quicker . Rather than having to pay cash for the bus and fumbling for the right coins it makes it a lot easier for our drivers and for the customers . Just tap your card and away you go .”
Cammax is also currently working with York to add the new ‘ First ’ tickets and TransDev products into the list of available tickets dispensed by the TVM . As with all our TVM customers , we continue to work closely with the council and we ’ re constantly developing and upgrading the application . This enables us to provide a constantly improving and adapting application , which continues to meet all their smart ticketing needs . n
