April 2015 by Marc Jacob
OSPT™ Alliance, an international association which provides an open standard for secure transit fare collection solutions, has welcomed automated fare collection (AFC) system operator, Prokart as an Associate Member.
Prokart, based in the Russian city of Perm, launched its AFC system ‘Odin Bilet’ or ’One Ticket’, in 2014. The project currently features 600 public transport vehicles and serves 150,000 passengers daily.
With ambitions to increase the scope of the ‘Odin Bilet’ project to cover the entire public transport infrastructure in Perm, Prokart has identified the CIPURSE™ open standard, which offers an advanced foundation for establishing interoperable fare collection systems, as the next step in achieving its short and long-terms goals. Through integrating CIPURSE into its ‘Odin Bilet’ solution, Prokart will provide passengers and transport operators in Perm with a sustainable and interoperable solution for all transportation tickets across the region.
