Turnstiles

Passengers can use turnstiles to validate the journey, by tapping a card on it on the entry point and the point of final destination.


QR codes

QR-codes

To accept payment, the system generates a unique QR code for the user within their mobile application, which is either scanned at the turnstile validator, the portable validator of by the train conductor or inspector.

Closed Loop card

Closed loop cards

The platform can be configured to accept both open loop cards (bank-type payments) and closed-loop payments (special cards, transport cards, loyalty cards). This means that payments can also be made using a card issued by the transport provider.
