Smart Ticketing Market Trends:
Individuals nowadays prefer public transportation over private vehicles on account of traffic congestion and rising environmental concerns, which represents one of the key factors driving the market growth. Moreover, governing agencies of various countries are promoting developments in smart technology and ticketing arrangements across different types of mobility and public transport. They are also promoting modern fare management that is safe, secure, reliable, and convenient for travelers and operators. Apart from this, the emergence of an innovative open-loop concept that enables passengers to utilize their credit or debit cards or mobile devices with payment functionalities like wearables for ticket payments is also contributing to the market growth. This can also be accredited to the increasing demand for mobile apps and the growing use of digital bank cards. Moreover, integrating blockchain technology with smart ticketing can improve the passenger experience as it offers greater flexibility while minimizing paper ticket waste. Additionally, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, along with the revival of the travel and tourism industry, is catalyzing the demand for contactless smart ticketing solutions to prevent cross-infection.
