Automatic fare collection

Automatic fare collection refers to a system that streamlines payment for transportation services, like buses, trains, or subways. It uses electronic methods such as contactless cards, mobile apps, or tokens to automatically record and deduct fares from passengers as they enter or exit. This reduces manual fare handling, speeds up boarding, and minimizes errors or disputes. The system often integrates with ticketing software, providing real-time data for operators and enabling efficient management. Overall, it makes paying for transit quick, convenient, and contactless, enhancing the passenger experience and operational efficiency.
