Public Transport Operations
For our public transport solution we have used a unique approach. With innovative thinking we have developed a “best of breed” solution, offering the best of international experience with a strong South African solution content. This results in a sustainable solution that is cost effective, tailored for South African conditions with local support.
Our integrated ticketing solution establishes a benchmark for South African best practice. The system offers flexibility in terms of modes and types of journey covered, so that the scheme meets the needs of as large a customer base as possible. We promote operator buy-in through strong leadership and administration arrangements that are viewed by all participating operators as fair. The solution is supported through active marketing to promote consumer support.
The fare management system is underpinned by an integrated intelligent transport system which is effective in encouraging public transport patronage and modal shift. The ITS system comprises vehicle and driver monitoring in real times, supported by an array of consumer interfaces.
TMT’s multi-modal, integrated fare management and automatic vehicle location (AVL) system will enhance public transport operations by:
- Providing passengers with a seamless ticketing interface between public transport modes
- Providing a safer, more user-friendly environment by reducing the risk of theft of cash
- Reducing fare evasion and fraud
- Increasing flexibility in implementing new fare structures
- Providing better management and monitoring information
- Providing improved fleet management
