INIT will be showcasing its latest developments in telematics and fare collection, as well as proven technology to help make public transport faster, more efficient and thus more attractive.Passengers boarding a tram or bus can pass a pre-loaded smartcard over a PROXmobil or the EVENDsmart ticketing machine, which will deduct the maximum fare rate. Riders check-out in the same manner, and any difference between the maximum and actual fare is automatically credited, with the option of fare capping to limit the cost of multiple journeys to the price of a day pass. Passengers don’t have to figure out which ticket to buy, and the ticket printer serves as an on-board computer giving vehicle-location and real-time information functionality. Other projects currently being undertaken by INIT include the implementation of passenger information systems for the Oslo metro.n
