Contactless tickets on Smartphones via NFC

Mobile ticketing via NFC allows travellers to substitute their transport tickets, cards and passes with their smartphones. Already used for mobile payment, the NFC technology embedded in most mobile phones can also emulate a transport card allowing passengers to purchase and validate their tickets on their phone.
Very easy and convenient to use, it is also extremely secure and gives the best experience to customers.
