Waiting for the bus isn’t just about the time - it’s about the uncertainty of not knowing when it will arrive. That’s why we’re making a difference with our real-time passenger information displays, giving you the peace of mind to plan your journey with confidence. Here’s one of our displays in West Sussex in action, helping to make bus travel a little less stressful and a lot more predictable!  #BusTravel #PublicTransport #SmartTransit

“If you always do what you've always done, you'll always have what you've always had." This, and variants of it, remind me that just because we've always done something a certain way, doesn't mean that it can't be improved (or indeed, that it is even a good way at all). I focus on the final outcome I'm working toward and find the best way to get there without getting stuck in the quagmire of precedent.” We next head to Leeds, United Kingdom to shine the #employeespotlight on Melissa Scothorne, Head of Support Service & Business Analyst. Melissa has been with Vix for over 8 years. She is recognized for her determination to succeed, exceptional organizational abilities, and dedication to efficiency. Melissa consistently excels at accomplishing tasks 🙌 Read on to learn more about Melissa: https://lnkd.in/gBfjktrx

Magstripes - used for rail tickets, bank cards, hotel key cards and IDs - are on their way out. This article by BBC News takes a look at their invention back in the sixties, their many applications, and reasons for their demise. For ticketing, new technologies including printable barcodes, reusable contactless cards and contactless EMV, are more environmentally friendly and convenient. As Vix's Sue Walnut tells the BBC: "There are now so many different ways of validating a rail ticket, there is less need to retain magstripe technology than ever before."

International Youth Day is a reminder of the incredible potential of young people as catalysts for positive change. Young people aged 15 to 24 are often at the forefront of embracing new changes, and public transportation is no exception. As digitalization continues to shape our world, there has been a notable increase in the use of shared mobility services, particularly by young people who may either lack access to a private vehicle or actively choose not to use one. Transport planning can often overlook young people’s views and needs, so as an industry, how can we better enable youth mobility? #InternationalYouthDay #YouthDay24 #SustainableDevelopment

🔦 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 & 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐬 Our Pulse AFC platform offers public transit operators and authorities a range of configurable fare rules. A new fare rule option called ‘Zone Traversal’ has just been added! In Check-In Check-Out systems, this fare rule uses topological data to calculate fares based on the zones a passenger passes through, rather than just their origin and destination zones. When this fare rule is enabled, authorities can create and apply one or more Zone Traversal fare caps to provide value to passengers who have used certain routes. These types of capping rules ensure that loyalty schemes are aligned with fare policy, and make sense to the passenger. 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞: Zone Traversal fare rules and fare caps can be used as an incentive for passengers to avoid congested routes during peak times, as an example. #ThinkLikeACustomer #SmartIdeas #FareCollection #PublicTransport
