“…The longitudinal data provided by these integrated payment methods can be used to better understand travel patterns and better localise the critical points for the supply-demand optimisation. Privacy of data is another principal source of concern about the smart card (and alike) payment methods (Dempsey, 2008). More recently, mobile payments (considered as virtual smart cards) are also being studied (Di Pietro, Guglielmetti Mugion, Mattia, Renzi, & Toni, 2015).…”

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is a recent innovative transport concept, anticipated to induce significant changes in the current transport practices. However, there is ambiguity surrounding the concept; it is uncertain what are the core characteristics of MaaS and in which way they can be addressed. Further, there is a lack of an assessment framework to classify their unique characteristics in a systematic manner, even though several MaaS schemes have been implemented around the world. In this study, we define this set of attributes through a literature review, which is then used to describe selected MaaS schemes and existing applications. We also examine the potential implications of the identified core characteristics of the service on the following three areas of transport practices: travel demand modelling, supply-side analysis and business model design. Finally, we propose the necessary enhancements needed to deliver such an innovative service like MaaS, by establishing the state of art in those fields.

“…Similarly, the benefits of advanced fare technology include convenience for the passenger, managing demand and/or addressing equity concerns through differentiated fares, cost savings and revenue-raising for the operator, and improved data collection [12]. It was also discovered that Smart card makes driver's job easier, gives transit a more modern look, and provides new opportunities for fare structuring [13]. Moreover, smart card was used as smart ticketing in the public transport wherein it provides clear benefits to both the public sector and transport operators.…”

Technological innovations in bus rail transit is worth adopting as it promotes efficiency in public utility transactions. Fare payment collection has been one of the dominating modernization that is considered an exogenous parameter in optimizing the bus services in foreign countries. In the Philippines, however, public transport in most of the urban areas do the customary fare payment collection with conductors issuing the ticket. These buses and jeepneys are utilized to account people's everyday work and living. This study aims to explore the potential of automating the fare payment collection in public utility transport to improve the Philippine's payment collection and the unbiased request to avail of 20% discount for students, senior citizens and Person With Disabilities (PWD) when boarding. A purposive sampling was used and 230 people participated in the study using a pre-tested questionnaire. Study in the Philippines revealed that with greater demand to use public transportation, majority of the commuters demands for higher speed on fare payment collection and convenience when riding in a public utility transport (M:4.60), surprisingly, among the situations that is alarming on the part of driver is the possibility of not paying the fare of a passenger especially when no collector is assigned and the driver is unable to monitor the paid passengers(M:4.55). By adopting existing smart card fare payment frameworks, the use of smart card may result to a highly sustainable fare payment system in the Philippines that can help promote a more convenient, efficient, standardized fare payment collection, gratified and appeased passenger experience within the region and positive realization of a cost-effective way of transportation.

“…Regarding to urban transit buses, collecting data on passenger boardings has progressed with the new electronic ticketing systems, like the smart card as a payment option as can be seen in the literature review made by Pelletier et al [1], and thanks to the increased sophistication of mobile communication technologies [2]. Smart cards improve the quality of data [3] and the ticket validation systems provide information on the number of boardings. Therefore, this information is quite accurate and the only errors are due to potential device failures.…”

a b s t r a c tObtaining data to use in an urban public transport operation planning and analysis is problematic, particularly in urban bus transit lines. In an urban environment and for bus services, most ticketing methods can be used to record passengers getting on board but not getting off, and current methods are unable to make a proper adjustment of boardings and alightings based on the available data unless they do alighting counts. This paper presents a method whereby counts are made at fewer stops and qualitative information on alightings and/or vehicle loads between consecutive stops is used to make the boarding and alighting adjustment as a previous step to obtain the real origin and destination (O/ D) of passengers allowing the O/D matrix calibration by using the loads between stops. Qualitative information can be obtained by the vehicle's driver or an on board observer, avoiding the necessity of counting many stops in planning period. The method is applied to a real bus transit line in Malaga (Spain) and to a set of 50 different bus transit lines with number of stops ranging from 10 to 75. The results show that the proposed method reduces the adjustment errors with regard to traditional methods, such as Least Square Method, even in the situation where no qualitative information is used. When qualitative data is used on alightings and loadings, the reduction of the average error is over 50%.
