The Ajman Transport Authority (ATA), in collaboration with BPC, a global leader in payment solutions, announced the launch of an open, contactless payment system for public buses. The new payment system, powered by BPC’s O-CITY platform, is the first phase of the next-generation fare collection solution for the transportation and smart city sectors in the emirate. Through this step, the Authority aims to provide passengers with a seamless, multi-modal travel experience and promote digital transformation in the public transport sector. The system allows passengers to make payments easily and securely using bank cards, smart payment methods such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and even wearable payment devices such as smart watches, facilitating transportation and improving the user experience. Smart payment devices have now been installed on all public transport buses. The service has been activated on internal routes, with plans to expand it to include external routes in the coming period, Ajman Transport Authority said. The Masaar Travel smart app has also been developed, enabling passengers to plan their trips, track bus locations in real time, link their bank cards, and view their trip history. The project includes an advanced system for calculating fares based on zones and stops. Abeer Goumaa, Director of Service […]
