Milan, June 29 (Labitalia) – Goodbye files in front of the machines, with the nightmare of change. Farewell too, to the great advantage of the environment, to this sheet of paper, receipt or receipt, which was first printed in millions of copies. Milan is now traveling lightly, thanks to the digital revolution initiated, first in Italy, by Atm, Milan's Milan-based transport company: the ticket is indeed bought without contact with Visa cards. or Mastercard or even via smartphone or smartwatch. Move closer to the card or device without registering first, and the amount of the tax will be charged to the statement without commission. But it's not just a quick payment. The system started in Milan is a real smart system: using the same device at the beginning and at the end of the trip, the best price for the user will be automatically calculated (and applied). For example, after three trips by subway on the urban network will be automatically charged a cost of 4.50 euros, corresponding to the daily ticket, rather than the cost of 3 trips or 6 euros. An advantage for the portfolio and a significant simplification of life for those who, like foreign tourists, do not know the rules of the TPL Milan. The project, realized by Atm with the collaboration of the Mastercard and Visa partners, places Milan in the Top 10 of the most intelligent city in the world: this revolutionary payment system has been adopted up to now in less than ten cities of the world. world, especially in London, Moscow, Chicago, Singapore and Vancouver, as well as for increasingly dematerialized tpl payments. that in the initial experimentation phase involves the metropolitan network, represents a fundamental step in the digital transformation that Atm leads to further increase the level of service offered and enhance the pbadenger travel experience, while rendering its more efficient processes of exploitation. The next objective of Atm, is the extension of the contactless system also to surface vehicles, which can be implemented as soon as 5g technology is implemented. Today, the ability to integrate information systems and the adoption of advanced technologies confirm the leadership of Atm in the innovation processes in the field of information technology. public transport. The total dematerialization of contactless tickets, initiated by the Milan Spa in 2015 with tickets purchased via SMS or App (QRcode), is intended, in the near future, to replicate itself in other urban territories and to have Extend to other means of transport Where and how does the ATM contactless equipped the 113 stations of the Milan metro to a dedicated pbadage with POS (Point Of Sale), to Both incoming and outgoing, which allows customers to simply approach the contactless card to trigger the turnstile. For the moment, 250 turnstiles have been equipped, but by the end of 2018 there will be 500. To use the service, there is no need to register. It is also possible to access it with the smartphones and smartwatch on which your credit card has been scanned. Warning: the trip must always start and end with the same support (the same card, the same device). In case of non-exit, the maximum rate for the place of entry is applied
The contactless payment system can be used in Milan to circulate throughout the urban and extra-urban metro network. The trip may also continue in the urban area of the surface lines and in the maximum duration of the travel document. Thus, to pay in contactless mode, the journey must always start in the metro.The benefits of contactless ticket • More files in front of the machines: to pay just have a contactless card or smarphone or other device at hand • Security of the transaction: as for all digital payments with large international circuits, the security of the transaction is guaranteed • Fewer errors in the tariff: the new payment system aims to optimize the travel experience of the customer, not only for the ease of purchase in real time, while eliminating the risk of erroneous prices for extra-urban journeys. • Lowest fare at any time: The system calculates journeys made during the day and charges the most advantageous fare for the pbadenger. In the case of a survey conducted by Atm staff, simply provide the card used to controllers who, with the aid of a portable device, can check if the pbadenger is in good standing with the trip.
