Open Payments Revenue Collection Paradigm Shift Carl Commons APTA Fare Collection March 19, 2013
Traditional Fare Collection Payments in Advance of Riding • At the Door • At a Vending Machine • With Tokens • With a Pre-Paid Pass • Closed Loop Cards • Mobile Tickets
Open Payments Open Payments Changes That • At the Door or Gate – Authorization Time • Distance Based Fares – After the Trip • Best Fare Guarantees – End of Day • Aggregation of Fares – End of Day
Open Payments What is the cost of waiting? • Risk that authorization will fail • “Float” the rider’s fare Biggest Risk is Giving One Ride
Open Payments Ways to Minimize the Costs and Risks • Check a Hot List • Check a Cold List
Open Payments How do you get more on the Cold List? • Provide incentives to get multi-trip or timed passes • “Mid-term” passes especially important • Encourage subscription of accounts for auto loading of fares
Open Payments Purchasing multiple fare types on-board or at a fare machine • Touch Screen Proximity Card Validator • Provide more choices than Adult, Child, Reduced Fare, etc.
Open Payments Purchasing multiple fare types on-board or at a fare machine • Creation of a “Warm” List of Cards • Possible to Default Last Fare Purchased • Give Riders Choices
Open Payments Take Focus off Single Ride Fares • Open Payments provide much more flexibility • Risk is still limited to a single ride
