ATOC & Smart Cards Bob McGivern Smart Card Development Presentation to Smart Card Network Forum 1st November 2005
Contents • Who We Are • What We Do • LA Support - Examples • Electronic Ticketing – Developments • Smart Cards – Developments • LA Liaison Going Forward
Who We Are • Association of Train Companies • Established to support rail privatisation • Composed of: • Policy & Strategy • Rail Settlement Plan • London Scheme • National Rail Enquiries • Commercial • Rail Staff Travel
2. What We Do • Support TOCs’ compliance with franchise and TSA commitments • Industry voice for National Rail matters • Set up industry wide contractual agreements • Deliver, operate and accredit ticketing and revenue collection systems • Deliver ticket interavailability – the only system in Europe
Example – Interavailability • Passenger in Glasgow purchases a ticket from a private web retailer for travel to Poole • Retailer receives cash and makes the ticket available by ToD on Scotrail ticket systems • Passenger collects ticket at Glasgow self-service ToD vending machine • Virgin carries the passenger to London - TfL across London - SWT to Poole • RSP settles all revenues to all parties
3. LA Support - Examples • Negotiate London Travelcard and Freedom Pass Rail Travel Arrangements • Provide rail services to all PTEs and most LAs • Administer LA / TOC agreements and settle revenue
4. Electronic Ticketing – Developments • Ticket on Departure (ToD): first national inter-operable system in the world • Physical tickets – CCST, ATB2, A4 and Print@Home (under trial) • Website / Call centre enabled • Therefore the ticket sales channel is electronic – not the ticket product itself
5. Smart Cards - Developments • The ticket product is now electronic – opens up more opportunities for ticketing • Oyster supported at all key London Rail stations and operational on all London trains • ITSO – possible rail involvement for Yorcard and Merseyrail – and Scotland later • Evolution of the Standards – Oyster v ITSO • DfT support ITSO, but Oyster has 2.5M cards
6. LA Liaison – Going Forward • ITSO - interavailability of ticketing and multi-applications in theory can be supported • Therefore LA concessionary transport supported with interavailability and across all agreed transport modes • Obligations between LAs/Operators and ITSO still to be determined • Evolution of the Standards will determine overall support • Smart cards are a mere technical enabler
