Challenges

The client grappled with an antiquated ticketing system reliant on outdated fareboxes, lacking advanced features. This technology gap threatened operational bottlenecks and potential revenue losses. Real-time data collection and data analytics were notably absent, hindering revenue optimization and informed decision-making.

The outdated system led to longer queues, compromising the commuter experience and potentially affecting ridership. 

Solution

The Datamtatics team successfully introduced the Next Generation Fare System (NGFS), ensuring ADA compliance. This advanced solution encompasses a smart media and mobile-based fare collection system. Datamatics managed the end-to-end process, from design and delivery to installation and commissioning of the secure and dependable NGFS across a range of MATA vehicles, including fixed-route buses, paratransit vehicles, and the MATA Trolley service.

Additionally, a QR-based ticketing system was implemented, offering single and return journey options, alongside other ticket types on thermal paper fare media and a mobile app.
