Providing a seamless experience for the entire transport ecosystem
NEC provides account based Mobile Ticketing Systems to Public Transport Authorities (PTA's) and Public Transport Operators (PTO's) worldwide. This extends from electronic fare collection through to electronic charging and expenditure at merchants and retailers plus clearing house facilities. Such facilities can support single, integrated fare systems based on a unified card or token or can be leveraged by a number of diverse operators.
NEC’s systems can also accommodate contemporary payment and charging mechanisms such as Apple Pay or other mobile apps, embracing the convenience of mobile technologies as well as Integrated Circuit (IC) chip equipped contactless smartcards. Removing the need for cards and complicated top-ups.
The technology is accurate, reliable and is highly effective for fraud prevention. Our system provides Authorities and Operators with the ability to see transactions in real-time as they occur across the network and empowers customers to be in control knowing that they will always be charged the right fare when they travel.
Ease of use
'A single touchpoint'. Adopt a single or multiple electronic platform (smartcards, mobile devices and apps, biometrics) to enable seamless interaction across the public transport network.
Rapid uptake
The ability for customers to move seamlessly between transport modes through one payment gateway is key to uptake and confidence in the network.
Future proof
Our Smart Ticketing solution provides the flexibility to adapt to future payment options, enabling authorities to leverage existing investments.
Aggregation of services
NEC systems are versatile and provide for the collection and aggregation of services across multiple providers, transaction types, media types, vehicle types, location, routes etc.
Clearing house functionality
Clearing and settlement of payments to appropriate agencies and operators. Includes individual operator/agency role-based visibility and reporting.
AI fraud reduction engine
NEC’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology provides both load forecasts and anomaly detection alarms to detect fare evasion.

Real-Time Analytics
We know how important it is to understand what is going on in the network in real-time, this information is critical to improve, manage and deliver a better transport offering. Our real-time analytics provides you with access to real-time farebox data, the number of customers across the network as well as information about the types of fares used helping you understand and improve transport services.
Flexible Fares
Our system means that you can adjust fares seamlessly without complicated hardware changes. You can also provide free travel to customers who may have been affected by a disruption on the network, or easily plan free or discounted travel days for events.
