About
West Yorkshire Combined Authority awarded a contract to Becotix for a personal mobile device-based touchless ticketing solution to record passenger boarding, alighting, and carriage.
The solution calculates best-value fares based on fare tables, including day or week limits, integrates with ITSO via the YorCard Nero back-office, supplies travel data to the bus company, and generates accurate revenue apportionment.
The contract, valued at £158,000, included a trial from January 2016 for approximately six months on a single bus route alongside paper tickets and smartcards.
