Conduent Transportation Implements New Contactless Payment System in Marseille, France
16 November 2023 - 12:45AM
Conduent Transportation, a global provider of smart mobility
technology solutions and business unit of Conduent Incorporated
(Nasdaq: CNDT), today announced that it, along with partners Visa
and Caisse d’Epargne CEPAC, are implementing a contactless open
payment system for the Aix-Marseille-Provence Métropole on the
Marseille public transport network that includes buses, coaches,
trams and a metro railway. Marseille is the second largest city in
France, and the Aix-Marseille-Provence Métropole is the country’s
largest métropole, or urban agglomeration, with a population of
over 1.8 million.
The new system will allow passengers to pay with contactless
debit and credit cards, as well as NFC-enabled digital
wallets. Testing of the system took place on selected lines
during July, and the system is now gradually being rolled out
network-wide.
“The Aix-Marseille-Provence Métropole has initiated a real
transport revolution with the introduction of contactless open
payment on the Marseille public transport network,” said Martine
Vassal, President of the Aix-Marseille-Provence Métropole. “We hope
that the system’s ease of use will encourage more people to use our
public transport system.”
“We value our long-term relationship with the
Aix-Marseille-Provence Métropole, and the opportunity, working with
Visa and Caisse d’Epargne CEPAC, to implement an advanced
contactless open payment system on the Marseille public transport
network that will deliver a simpler and faster user experience,”
said Adam Appleby, President, Transportation Solutions at Conduent.
“Leveraging Conduent’s technology and expertise, transportation
authorities around the world are modernizing their networks to meet
the needs of passengers who are increasingly more reliant on
technology-based solutions for everyday transactions.”
Conduent fare collection systems are in use on more than 400
public transit networks of all sizes around the world. In June,
Conduent announced that it had been selected by transport
operator Azienda Trasporti Verona (ATV) to provide new
contactless payment technology for the public buses in Verona,
Italy. In May, Conduent was selected by the State of Victoria,
Australia, to implement an advanced, contactless payment
account-based ticketing system.
