How it works
Unified for the rider. Independent for each operator.
-
Single rider account
One account, one app — riders move between bus, rail, and ferry operators without separate registrations
-
Ring-fenced configuration
Each operator maintains their own fare rules, products, and concessions — independently of others
-
Separate revenue settlement
Revenue is settled per operator — no pooled funds, full transparency across the consortium
