ASK announces today that OTLIS, the Lisbon, Portugal transport operators, selected C.ticket, ASK’s contactless paper tickets, for their automatic fare collection ticketing system. The order of 25 million tickets will be delivered over the next two years.
The contactless technology can be used on the metro, buses, trams, trains or the Transtejo ferry. Lisbon transport operators have partnered to make up a centralized system. Each operator will create customized tickets on one side and hold a common layout on the other side.
Based on Calypso standard and ASK CTS 512 B ticket, OTLIS implemented a secure, multi-modal and interoperable ticketing system compliant with ISO14443 type B standard.
