Tap and go with Open Payment

One tap is all it takes. Our Open Payment system turns a passenger’s contactless card, smartphone, or smartwatch into their ticket.

An easier way to pay 
for public transport

Open Payment changes the way people move. No more paper tickets, no lines, no counting out cash. Just a simpler way to travel.

Easy to use

Just a tap of a contactless card, smartphone, or smartwatch is all it takes. The best fare is automatically applied, all in line with your local rules.

Travel together

Families, friends, or colleagues can travel together using one card or smart device, with just one tap per person.

More accessible public transport

More than 50% of occasional passengers choose Open Payment over any other way to pay.

Fits into every journey

There’s no need to overhaul your existing systems. Our Open Payment solution integrates easily across all transport modes.

Bus

Travelers can simply tap their credit card or smartphone when boarding, without worrying about buying tickets in advance or carrying cash. Faster boarding means better schedule reliability and less dwell time at stops.

Tram

No ticket machines, no apps to download. Open Payments let passengers board quickly and easily, speeding up service and reducing wait times at busy tram stops.

Metro

In busy metro networks, Open Payment helps passengers move through stations faster. This makes the biggest difference during rush hour, when crowds are at their peak.

Ferry

No need to figure out special fare cards or terminals. Passengers can just tap and go, even if they're unfamiliar with local ticketing systems. Ideal for tourists and occasional riders.

Park & Ride

Drivers can tap to pay for parking and onward transit in one smooth action. No separate tickets, no confusion. Just an easier way to move and travel.

Wherever they go, 
however they pay

Simple, secure payments that work across transport modes and borders. With Arrive, you give riders the freedom to pay their way. With the best fare always automatically applied.

Best fare, every time

Our system automatically applies the best fare for each journey, all in line with your local rules. Whether it's daily, weekly, or (only with Arrive) monthly fare capping, passengers never pay more than they should.

Safe and secure

Built on proven technologies (EMV and NFC), the system handles payments quickly and securely, while protecting passenger data at every touchpoint.

International-ready

Our Open Payment system already processes cards from more than 130 countries, ensuring a welcoming experience for a wide variety of visitors from around the world.

Let passengers pay their way
