Slovenia recently introduced a multilateral passenger transport ticket, equipped with technology from NXP Semiconductors N.V. The multilateral ticket is part of Slovenia’s 15-month project aimed at simplifying public transportation.
The new ticket unifies different means of transport, and integrates the use of regular rail and inter-urban bus transport in Slovenia and urban transport in the two largest Slovenian cities in a single system, without having to buy separate tickets.
For the project, NXP collaborated with Margento, a systems integrator that provides essential support with the Integrated Public Transport Consortium, to deliver a nationwide smart ticketing standard and solution based on NXP’s MIFARE DESFire contactless IC.
“A multitude of public transit operators, many with dated public transit management solutions, tend to result in fragmented and poorly interlaced services, creating great challenges for the operators,” said Luka Gošte, business development manager at Margento. “Building on the basis of MIFARE DESFire, we were able to integrate all the various operators in the country with our own backend solution, thereby making public transit more efficient for the user.”
