On July 7, 2003, the launch of the London/Munich-London electronic ticketing system ended the phenomenon of queuing to buy tickets in front of London Underground stations every morning. Last week, the first passengers started using Oyster smart cards, and they no longer need cash when buying tickets. The international high-tech group G+D provides nearly 2,000,000 contactless smart cards for the new ticketing system. All projects are jointly implemented by the TRANSYS Alliance and its main partners, Electronic Data Systems (EDS) and Cube Transportation Systems (CTS).
After the project is fully launched, the OYSTER smart card will speed up the speed of passengers boarding, allowing the approximately six million passengers in the London transport network to enjoy more convenience and convenience. Smart card devices have been installed on 6000 buses and more than 270 bus stations in London. The new smart card was initially only provided to adults with annual or monthly travel cards and bus passes through the Internet or telephone. In the future, it will be issued to all holders of annual or monthly travel passes and bus passes through ticket offices or retail outlets at stations. Within a year, all 350,000 passengers with annual or monthly travel cards and bus passes will have an OYSTER card.
The Oyster smart card has a memory microprocessor chip and antenna. In order to use London’s transport system, passengers only need to move the card close to the electronic card reader. The communication between the card reader and the smart card only takes one-fifth of a second or less. Mr. HEINER STARP, Chairman of G+D UK branch said: “As the main card provider of the OYSTER project, we provide more services than smart cards. Passengers who travel frequently can experience the use of this contactless smart card technology. The benefits it brings to them. Similarly, contactless smart cards can also bring benefits to users in the general public or other similar industries.” Contactless smart cards provide greater security and prevent fraud and forgery. If lost or stolen, passengers will You can register at any time.
