ABT enables passengers to simply tap or scan a secure token, linked to an account in the back office to make a journey.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The fare is automatically calculated based on a number of factors, such as location and amount of taps during a time window, and is then charged to the passenger post journey. Account-Based Ticketing means that riders no longer need to buy a ticket in advance or understand fares before traveling.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Due to the way Account Based fares are calculated post-journey, this also provides the transit agency or operator the option to implement \u2018fare capping\u2019\/\u2019best fare finding rules. Here, instead of simply charging customers for every journey they take, the Account Based Ticketing system calculates the best fare the customer could have pre-purchased and allocates this fare to the passenger as they travel and caps their cost. This makes public transport more attractive by allowing for more flexible travel behaviour, giving the customer the comfort they will never be overcharged for their\u00a0 trips.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Does Account Based Ticketing Work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With Account-Based Ticketing, the right to travel is managed by the central platform\u2019s back office. The \u2018ticket\u2019 the passenger holds acts as a &#8216;token&#8217; or proof of the right to travel and identifier of a customer\u2019s account. As a customer taps their token around a system, those taps are collected and passed to the back office, which stores the token\u2019s usage patterns and settles the transaction based on usage to create a product that is charged for. As such, the back office is the primary source of truth, unlike in a Card Centric system where it is the card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Passengers are able to use a range of things as a \u2018token\u2019 and typically are not issued new fare media but are encouraged to use what they already have in their pocket to travel, be it an cEMV contactless bank card, smartcard, phone or a smart wearable and the payment will link with their \u2018account\u2019 residing in the back office.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Selecting the right token(s) to use for an Account-Based Ticketing system is an important decision. Tokens need to be widely available to passengers across the entire transit network. Smartphones and contactless bank cards (cEMV) are particularly good for this, depending upon penetration rates within an agency\u2019s ridership.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Passengers already having a token in their pocket or wallet is extremely convenient and also means the agency does not incur the expense of issuing plastic tokens (like smartcards). However, it is worth noting that if an agency already has a smartcard or an ID card in circulation, these could both make ideal tokens for people to use. This is the case in Fort Collins, for example. There are two ways to enable ABT which we define below.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Account-Based Ticketing: Contactless Payments (cEMV)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Contactless bank cards, or Contactless EMV (cEMV) cards, represent a secure \u2018open-loop\u2019 token which has been proven to work well to enable Account-Based Ticketing. \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.masabi.com\/blog\/what-is-open-loop-ticketing\">Open Loop\u2019<\/a>\u00a0means that the ticketing system leverages existing open tokens and processes that are not proprietary to the transport network in question (unlike most smarcards, which are considered \u2018Closed Loop\u2019 due to the fact they can only be used on the transit network).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Using contactless EMV cards offers many advantages to passengers due to the fact they are both a secure token and authenticatable payment method in one. Due to this, EMV cards allow people to tap-and-ride without having to create an account or get a ticket, which is a great way of enabling people to travel with minimal friction. This can also be enabled on people&#8217;s smartphones and smart devices through services such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"vidyard-player-container\">\n<div class=\"vidyard-div-Labv68i7PWF49rmFLEKhVg\" role=\"application\" aria-label=\"media player\">\n<div style=\"width: 960px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-12378-1\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/An-Introduction-to-Contactless-Bank-Card-Ticketing-for-Public-Transport.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/An-Introduction-to-Contactless-Bank-Card-Ticketing-for-Public-Transport.mp4\">http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/An-Introduction-to-Contactless-Bank-Card-Ticketing-for-Public-Transport.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Account Based Ticketing: Stored Value Accounts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Passengers can also use a stored value account linked to a secure token to enable Account-Based Ticketing. Stored value tokens can be a dynamic barcode generated from a mobile phone, a Smartcard, an ID card or a Private Label cEMV card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But what differentiates stored value tokens from cEMV payments? Well, stored value tokens usually require the user to create an account prior to their first journey and put some funds into the account (which can then auto top up, if required), which\u00a0 is not the case with cEMV payments which can remove funds directly from the associated bank account.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, stored value tokens do come with some interesting advantages as they allow transit agencies to easily implement and apply concessions (entitlements) which are very useful for user groups such as students, or alternatively issue mobility credit to an account<i>.<\/i>\u00a0Account-Based Ticketing using stored value also benefits cash riders through cash digitisation, allowing riders to exchange cash for credit and enabling people without a bank account to tap and ride around a transport network.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"vidyard-player-container\">\n<div class=\"vidyard-div-e5sAJF4Vz41ou4sbgDVwLs\" role=\"application\" aria-label=\"media player\">\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-12378-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/An-Introduction-to-Account-Based-Ticketing.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/An-Introduction-to-Account-Based-Ticketing.mp4\">http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/An-Introduction-to-Account-Based-Ticketing.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Are the Benefits of Account-Based Ticketing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Account-based fare payment systems gives riders the most convenient and frictionless ticketing experience possible today. A passenger using an account-based token can use public transport effortlessly and seamlessly without having to think about the cost of their journey or having to buy a ticket. Account-Based Ticketing offers many benefits including the following:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefit 1: Improved rider experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is no need to purchase a ticket when you have an account. Simply tap (scan) using a mobile barcode, or use another token such as smartcard, contactless credit\/debit card or virtual EMV token.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefit 2: Multiple token optionality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Passengers can use the token most suited to their needs or preferences, whether that be a barcode generated from their phone, c-EMV, Smartcard or Virtual EMV token.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefit 3: Best possible fare<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With Account-Based Ticketing passengers just tap (scan) and ride. Because the system works by associating taps to a rider\u2019s account and then calculating the fare based on those taps, agencies can then implement rules enabling best-priced fares for riders like fare-capping.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefit 4: Fare model optionality and flexible transfers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ABT enables the quick implementation of new fares and transfer rules for different modes of transit, such as discounted fares when continuing journeys from subway to bus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefit 5: Concession enablement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Concessions can be enabled through a central back office permitting \/ restricting access to entitlements on an account-by-account basis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefit 6: Easy to maintain \u2013 fare engine in the back office not on the reader<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fare calculations are processed in the back office instead of on the validation unit. This means the system is easier to maintain as it is a single back office instead of a network of locally-hosted devices each of which require maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefit 7: Easy to upgrade \u2013 reduced lock-in<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because the fare logic is managed and calculated in the back-office, there is no fare calculation logic in the hardware. This means that the system can be updated with things like new prices quickly from a central location and, with a platform-based system, is able to much more easily meet the evolution of technology.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the benefits of Account Based Ticketing, check out our blog on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.masabi.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-account-based-ticketing\" rel=\" noopener\">the benefits of Account Based Ticketing.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Far Has Account-Based Ticketing Come?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Masabi issued a \u2018State of Fare Collection\u2019 survey to transport agency professionals in the Fall\/Autumn of 2019.
