💨 Abstract

The Department of Transport in South Africa is exploring the development of an integrated smart ticketing system for public transport. This system would use a single tap-and-go card or mobile pass for trains, buses, and taxis nationwide, aiming to simplify travel, reduce queues, and eliminate paper tickets. The initiative seeks private sector involvement and could align South Africa with global transport networks like those in France, Switzerland, and Germany.
