Rambus and Worldline to deliver ITSO smart tickets on-train and at stations

Worldline can now deliver ITSO-based smart tickets to customer smartcards with their @Station and Mobile Ticket Issuing Service (MTIS), providing passengers with a reliable and more convenient ticketing experience using the Rambus RTD solution.

Rambus has extensive experience deploying robust and secure ticketing solutions which support rail, subway, bus, tram and ferry smart ticketing operations. Worldline, Europe’s largest payments company, provides solutions to many UK rail franchises who can now directly benefit from this leading technology for issuing smart tickets which lays the foundation for contactless rail journeys. This next-generation ticketing solution will greatly enhance access for customers who will be able to collect tickets at station desks and on train directly from staff.

Russell McCullagh, vice president and general manager of Rambus Ticketing commented: “We’re delighted that Worldline has chosen Rambus’ RTD software to provide their rail operators a proven technology that will deliver a frictionless user experience for rail staff and their customers and can also scale across the rail network. Rambus’ broad experience in delivering ITSO-based smartcard and mobile-based ticketing solutions across the UK transport ecosystem will provide a leading technology for an enhanced Worldline customer experience.”

James Bain, Global Director of Transport at Worldline said: “As Europe’s leading and largest payments provider, our focus is on reducing friction for consumers in how they pay for goods and services. Transit and Transport is no different and is the next big merchant market. Our collaboration with Rambus paves the way to revolutionise access to UK rail services with innovative payment solutions.”
