M-Ticketing on Dutch Public Transportation

The experimental m-ticketing project launched by Dutch public transport company, Noordned has proved such a success, that it will be extended to other routes, per an article in Europemedia. Passengers can either purchase a printed ticket, or order one online or call a special telephone number for an m-ticket, delivered onto their cell phone by SMS as a number code. Conductors equipped with special handheld computers, then validate the m-ticket, reading the number code.

Recents posts on M-Ticketing in this blog include: Airline M Ticketing Service offered by low fares airlines Ryanair.com and Mobi-tickets for concerts, a new system allowing fans to get into pop concerts using their mobile phones.
