In recent weeks, our #AccountBasedTicketing working group has released Modules 1 and 2, providing valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges of ABT.  This week, we are pleased to announce the release of Module 3, which addresses key questions to consider before evaluating #ABT. To ensure a successful ABT #implementation, the following must be considered: 🔍 A solid business case: Aligning ABT with goals, roles and #riskmanagement over the life of the system. 🤝 Organisational perspectives: Establishing clear agreements and responsibilities between partners. Technical flexibility: Choosing non-proprietary system components and ensuring scalability. 🔒 Security and privacy: Mitigating risks associated with network connectivity and ensuring privacy. These insights are available to STA members. Become a member today to access the full text 👉 https://lnkd.in/enZmV3P5

This week, we're highlighting the second module recently published by our working group, which explores the key opportunities and challenges of #ABT. Oppurtunities for PTO/PTA and passengers: 🚆Convenient travel across multiple transport systems without the need to re-register. 💳 Seamless fare options, such as pay-as-you-go or price caps for different journey lengths. 📊Better use of data to promote sustainable travel choices. Challenges for PTO/PTA: 🤝Ensuring stakeholder confidence in mobility 📜Overcoming organisational challenges and establishing clear rules of collaboration 🌐The need for risk mitigation strategies due to centralised processing and potential connectivity issues These insights are available to STA members.

Our #AccountBasedTicketing working group has published the first in a series of modules outlining key insights into #ABT as a solution for seamless, inter-regional travel. Module 1 covers the basic concepts, highlighting that ABT works through centralised data processing, enabling simplified fare calculation, efficient data handling and scalable implementation - from city-specific solutions to international networks. As with any solution, ABT offers both benefits and challenges: ✅ Benefits include a single identity token for travellers across #transport modes and improved data processing for operators. ⚠️ Challenges include balancing centralisation with system resilience and ensuring broad compatibility across transport networks. These detailed insights are available to STA members, with future modules looking in more detail at maximising the opportunities of ABT, while also addressing the challenges and questions that need to be considered before evaluating ABT.
