Confidex, a supplier of contactless smart tickets, has announced its tickets are now fully implemented on the RET (Rotterdamse Elektrische Tram) public transportation system in Rotterdam. Confidex supplies the public transpiration system with roughly five million contactless smart tickets with NXP MIFARE Ultralight IC per year. The extended memory of contactless tickets enables RET to set pricing policies which adapt to passenger needs and extend the number of possible fare combinations. The RET contactless smart tickets are delivered by Confidex in booklet and fanfold formats to support the transport’s ticket issuing processes. Booklet tickets are particularly easy to distribute, for example on buses. They are also easy to count, since the tickets are stapled per group of defined numbers, and the ticket counterfoil can be used as proof of distribution. The company says RET’s public transportation system in Rotterdam moves over 600,000 passengers each day, and the fully customized contactless paper tickets from Confidex are playing a key role in its smooth and cost-effective operation; improving customer satisfaction and increasing ticket security.
