Public Transit
With the majority of people living in urban areas and cities the potential and responsibility of public transit is enormous. Improved public transport systems are capable of servicing a higher proportion of journeys, providing an alternative to the private cars and thereby reducing congestion, pollution and carbon emissions.
Public transit is characterized by relative inflexibility, unpredictability (i.e. reliability) and disconnectedness. Changing this perception, making public transport usable for people with limited time to travel and protect and expand the existing market share in the presence of a car, are public transit's main challenges.

Promote usability and convenience with advanced Fare Collection System
Providing reliable and easy-to-use service to the passengers is among the top priorities of public transit organizations. The fare collection method has great impact on a company’s operations and on passenger satisfaction.
Margento provides public transit operators with advanced Fare Collection System, enabling the adoption of various fare payment methods and payment media including mobile phones, magnetic, smart and contact-less cards, which promise to make the use of public transit even easier.
Besides the ease-of-use that adoption of mobile phone or smartcard fare collection brings to passengers, it also brings numerous benefits to public transit operators. Increase in revenues, accurate financial and other business related data availability and decrease in numbers of employees involved in fare collection are just a few of the ways in which these benefits can be realized.
