We are delighted to announce that The Hub Company has been selected and pre-procured by Smart Applications Management (SAM) and is now included in the National Mobilities Procurement Hub (NMPH) Framework 5, Lot 3, Account Based Ticketing (ABT) Service.
This contract enables SAM Local Authority and private transport operator members to call off The Hub Platform fare collection solutions to enable their current ticketing proposition, such as Pay You Go (PAYG) from a “Truth on Card” solution where capping takes place dynamically on the card, to an Account Based Ticketing (ABT) solution “Truth on Server” where the fare capping calculations take place in a centralised single back office.
ABT is predicted to be the new and modern approach to fare collection in public transport systems and that have increasingly removed cash from the transaction at point of travel. It is designed to simplify the ticketing process for passengers and provide scheme operators with more efficient and flexible ways to manage fares and payments.
The Hub ABT offering has been developed with 28 years’ experience providing ticketing and validation services across transport and other related industries. We have issued over 50 million tickets and our open IT platform is able to load any ticketing token (standard and smart) into open (EMV) and closed loop (ITSO) cards, mobile apps and wearable technology using all the necessary secure encoding protocols.
