Public Transport Payments with NFC Technology: A Case Study of MobiAzores in Terceira Island

Public Transport Payments with NFC Technology: A Case Study of MobiAzores in Terceira Island
September 13, 2024

As the wave of digitalization sweeps through, public transport systems are undergoing unprecedented transformations. Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, as the vanguard of this revolution, is gradually changing people's travel experiences. The MobiAzores system on the island of Terceira in Portugal is a vivid example of this change. Supported by the technology provider UbiRider, the introduction of NFC technology has greatly simplified the transport payment process, enhanced the passenger experience, and brought unprecedented convenience and data insights to public transport operators.

 

NFC Technology: The New Norm for Public Transport Payments

 

NFC technology, with its efficiency and convenience, demonstrates significant potential in the public transport sector. Unlike traditional ticketing or card-swiping methods, NFC allows passengers to simply wave their smartphones or bank cards to complete the payment process, without any physical contact with devices. This significantly reduces payment time and enhances travel efficiency. On Terceira Island, both local residents and international tourists can effortlessly make bus payments using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any NFC-enabled bank card on their smartphones, ensuring a seamless travel experience.

 

Recognizing the importance of NFC technology in public transport, UbiRider, a leading transport management system provider, developed the integrated application PICK with NFC payment functionality. This application is deeply integrated with the MobiAzores system, bringing revolutionary changes to the public transport system on Terceira Island:

 

  1. Convenient Payments: Passengers can easily make payments on the bus by downloading the PICK app or using NFC-enabled bank cards, eliminating the need to queue for tickets or carry cash.
  2. Real-Time Information: Through the PICK app, passengers can access real-time bus arrival times, route information, and more, allowing them to better plan their travel routes and reduce waiting time.
  3. Data Analysis: Public transport operators can leverage the UbiRider platform to access real-time and historical payment data, analyze passenger travel habits, optimize bus routes and service times, and enhance operational efficiency.

 

NFC technology is reshaping public transport payment systems, offering a more seamless and efficient travel experience for passengers while providing valuable data insights for transport operators to improve services. The case of MobiAzores in Terceira Island exemplifies the transformative power of NFC technology in the realm of public transport.
