Open-loop ticketing based on accepting bank-issued EMV contactless cards Closed-loop ticketing that also supports the development of smart city payments Account-based ticketing that allows use of different customer payment tokens Card-based ticketing that enables open payments without vendor lock-in Other models such as mobile-based ticketing that enable open payments The objective will be to achieve consensus on implementation models that will help stakeholders to develop next-generation transport payments in India. The implementation models will need to achieve the long-term objectives of national common mobility, practical interoperability and most important - open payment systems that can drive transport cash transactions to digital payments.
Industry Conference - Day 2 Third - thought leadership and solutions to accelerate implementation Bus Transit Systems and Revenue Collection The challenges of revenue collection in bus public transport systems particularly granting access and managing risk in off-line scenarios, and the need for cost-effective solutions that are within the financial means and technical capabilities of state-owned bus operators. Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) Systems Road tolling systems including manual payment using contactless transport cards and devices as well as fully automated electronic toll collection systems. ETC solutions or India will need to demonstrate clear business advantages over the existing efficient manual systems. Acceptance Devices for Transport Payments The range of acceptance devices for payments in transport is evolving to manage a wide variety of scenarios including in-vehicle, off-vehicle, in stations, at tollbooths, mobile hand-held, conductor/driver-assisted, as well as non-farebox payments in retail point-of-sale scenarios.

Expanding the Payments Business Strategies and solutions to expand the payments opportunity and the profitability of public transport either by operators developing non-farebox revenue using their own cards and/or by using public transport to drive usage of bank-issued EMV contactless cards. Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) The outlook for Mobility-as-a-Service in India. Payment solutions for transport-on-demand services that can connect customers with public transport, such as public bicycle sharing schemes and ride-hailing services for low-cost motorcycle taxis and private cars.
Track Record Since 2006, APSCA s transport ticketing forums have become the largest meeting of senior executives from transport revenue collection schemes and transport operators managing smart integrated ticketing and automated fare collection schemes in Asia. Each forum has successfully attracted senior decision-makers from transport fare collection and transport ticketing end-users from over 10 Asian countries and territories. These senior executives attend the forum to meet their peers, learn about updates to other Asian transport card schemes and hear case studies and best practices. They view the forum as a unique opportunity to discuss business, technology and operational issues with other senior managers from transport operators and ticketing schemes. The previous 9 forums were held in Singapore, Taipei, Bangkok, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney and India, with local government transport authorities, transport ticketing companies and transport operators either hosting or supporting the forum, or organising site visits.
