The only annual event for transport ticketing stakeholders in South Asia
(Content designed by transport ticketing consultants from littlepay under direction of APSCA India)
Building the transport payments business through strong thought leadership
*Workshop presented and led by Michael Walters and Dave Lunt of littlepay
Working Group Meeting - Day 1 Second - develop an implementation roadmap
Proponents of the following models for transport payments will be invited to make brief presentations and then lead working group discussions with
stakeholders that are transport authorities, financial institutions and industry experts.
§ Open-loop ticketing based on accepting bank-issued EMV
contactless cards
§ Closed-loop ticketing that also supports the development of smart
city payments
§ Account-based ticketing that allows use of different customer
payment tokens
§ Card-based ticketing that enables open payments without vendor
lock-in
§ Other models such as mobile-based ticketing that enable open
payments
The objective will be to achieve consensus on implementation models that will help stakeholders to develop next-generation transport payments in India.
The implementation models will need to achieve the long-term objectives of national common mobility, practical interoperability and most important -
open payment systems that can drive transport cash transactions to digital payments.
Introduction & Management Basics
Definitions – card vs account based; closed vs
open-loop; driver assisted/known fares
(purchase before) vs flat/ variable fares
(purchase later) vs pre-purchased fares
(purchase before)
Models – card based closed & open-loop;
account based closed & open-loop; hybrid
models; UKCA initiative (purchase
now/later/before); Visa/Mastercard models
List Management – using lists to decrease risk;
white to allow, black and red to decline, orange
to inform, green to approve, purple to protect
Risk Management – managing risk through the
use of lists, authorisation tactics, and ‘first ride
risk’ agreements
Decline Management - how initial declines can
be recovered through various reclaim processes
Open Loop & Alternative Models
Ticketing Evolution - coins, tokens, tickets,
cards and mobiles - the unification of
ticketing and payments
Purchase Methods - off-vehicle / platform,
driver assisted, conductor, tap on, tap on /
tap off, mobile, revenue protection
Models – relative merits of open-loop vs
closed-loop vs hybrid models, and whether
these can co-exist
Co-Existence & Migration - how new models
can be implemented in parallel with existing
models
Relative Costs - the reduction of capex and
integration costs in favour of opex and
service costs
Customer Benefits
Best Fares - ensuring the customer pays the
best possible fare on the day
Capping - replacing daily, weekly and
monthly tickets with simply caps
Aggregation - rules: how aggregation benefits
customers and operators
Knowing Customers - how customer specific
data can benefit operators
Interoperability - the ability of offer multi-
operator / multi-model products - and share
revenues fairly
Wrap-up & Summary (call to action)
Q&A and discussion will run throughout the
workshop as well as the final session.
Workshop Content - Day 1 First - understand the business issues
Industry Conference - Day 2
Third - thought leadership and solutions to accelerate implementation
Bus Transit Systems and Revenue Collection
The challenges of revenue collection in bus public transport systems particularly granting access and managing risk in off-line scenarios, and the need for
cost-effective solutions that are within the financial means and technical capabilities of state-owned bus operators.
Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) Systems
Road tolling systems including manual payment using contactless transport cards and devices as well as fully automated electronic toll collection systems.
ETC solutions or India will need to demonstrate clear business advantages over the existing efficient manual systems.
Acceptance Devices for Transport Payments
The range of acceptance devices for payments in transport is evolving to manage a wide variety of scenarios including in-vehicle, off-vehicle, in stations, at
tollbooths, mobile hand-held, conductor/driver-assisted, as well as non-farebox payments in retail point-of-sale scenarios.
Developments in Mobile Transport Ticketing
The state of play for mobile proximity transport ticketing including NFC mobile ticketing driven by transport ticketing schemes and banks using host card
emulation (HCE), OEM-Pay products, QR code-based or barcode-based mobile transport ticketing.
Managing Single Journey Tickets
Fare media and ticketing solutions that can address the single journey ticket problem created by itinerant customers that include customers unable or
unwilling to pay for stored value, business travellers, tourists and other occasional riders.
Expanding the Payments Business
Strategies and solutions to expand the payments opportunity and the profitability of public transport either by operators developing non-farebox revenue
using their own cards and/or by using public transport to drive usage of bank-issued EMV contactless cards.
Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS)
The outlook for Mobility-as-a-Service in India. Payment solutions for transport-on-demand services that can connect customers with public transport, such
as public bicycle sharing schemes and ride-hailing services for low-cost motorcycle taxis and private cars.

Track Record Since 2006, APSCA’s transport ticketing forums have become the largest meeting of senior executives from transport revenue collection schemes and transport operators managing smart integrated ticketing and automated fare collection schemes in Asia. Each forum has successfully attracted senior decision-makers from transport fare collection and transport ticketing end-users from over 10 Asian countries and territories. These senior executives attend the forum to meet their peers, learn about updates to other Asian transport card schemes and hear case studies and best practices. They view the forum as a unique opportunity to discuss business, technology and operational issues with other senior managers from transport operators and ticketing schemes. The previous 9 forums were held in Singapore, Taipei, Bangkok, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney and India, with local government transport authorities, transport ticketing companies and transport operators either hosting or supporting the forum, or organising site visits.
Who Attended in 2017 The first Transport South Asia conference held on 23-24 February in New Delhi attracted over 200 delegates of which nearly 50% were decision-
makers responsible for fare collection, card and ticketing issuing, transaction clearing and issues related to revenue collection in transport (including
collection of revenue from non-transport applications). These decision-makers were from 8 countries including Australia, Hong Kong, India, Japan,
Korea, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore. Representatives from government, banks and payment schemes also attended.
Technology Exposition A Technology Expo of latest solutions for revenue collection in transport will be held concurrently with Transport Payments South Asia. The exposition will provide an opportunity for transport card schemes, transport operators, transport agencies and payment service providers to learn about latest development trends in automated fare collection.
What people said about the 2017 Forum
"The Forum was really professionally arranged.
All the topics were on-point and up to the
mark"
TusharKshirsagar,ITHead,Corporate,PrasannaPurpleMobilitySolutions
"With Indian Transit Operators being well-
represented in this conference we had a good
opportunity to better understand their current
challenges and requirements which allows systems
integrators such as ourselves to work on providing
the right solutions according to their needs"
YvonnickAuger,ProgramDirector, Thales
"Thank you APSCA and APSCA India for
organizing this event. It was a well-planned,
well attended and attractive event to highlight
and discuss the current trends in Transport
Payment South Asia. I hope in future there will
be some update about which direction the
industries are heading and their actions"
MarthinusHadipranoto,RegionalAccountManager,ULVerificationServices
"Quite informative as to the needs of rapidly
developing markets such as India, which in many
respects were not as different from developed
markets as I had expected. In particular, I couldn't
help but think there may well be several areas
where solutions in India leapfrog those in developed
markets"
