Demo Abstract: Contactless E-ticketing in Public Transport Buses

Open Transit Data (OTD) availability presents an excellent opportunity for commuter-centric applications. Applications that use OTD to inform users about their commute. Moreover, the current scenario demands applications that make travel in public transit safer and more comfortable. To this cause, we present a contactless e-ticketing solution for public transport buses allowing passengers to purchase tickets in a contactless manner. It is currently in a trial phase since September and has sold over 200k tickets. The system also presents opportunities for third-party vendors to develop similar solutions.
