Smart ticketing refers to a flexible, quick, convenient, contactless, and easy-to-use system that electronically stores travel tickets on a microchip embedded in a smartcard. It allows passengers to seamlessly travel on public transport like buses, trams, or trains without using traditional payment systems like cash or purchasing a paper ticket. Nowadays, several companies are offering the option to add multiple train tickets to a single smartcard, which can be used across multiple journeys and modes of transportation.

Smart Ticketing Market Trends:
Individuals nowadays prefer public transportation over private vehicles on account of traffic congestion and rising environmental concerns, which represents one of the key factors driving the market growth. Moreover, governing agencies of various countries are promoting developments in smart technology and ticketing arrangements across different types of mobility and public transport. They are also promoting modern fare management that is safe, secure, reliable, and convenient for travelers and operators. Apart from this, the emergence of an innovative open-loop concept that enables passengers to utilize their credit or debit cards or mobile devices with payment functionalities like wearables for ticket payments is also contributing to the market growth. This can also be accredited to the increasing demand for mobile apps and the growing use of digital bank cards. Moreover, integrating blockchain technology with smart ticketing can improve the passenger experience as it offers greater flexibility while minimizing paper ticket waste. Additionally, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, along with the revival of the travel and tourism industry, is catalyzing the demand for contactless smart ticketing solutions to prevent cross-infection. Besides this, leading players are focusing on providing smart ticketing solutions based on fingerprint recognition algorithms and ultra-touch fingerprint sensors, which is projected to create a positive market outlook.
