What is MIFARE® 2GO?
2023-10-31 View：
MIFARE 2GO is a complete end-to-end solution that manages digitized MIFARE-based credentials onto mobile and wearable devices. It brings public transport into a new era, enhancing passenger experiences while making transit operations more efficient.
KEY BENEFITS FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS
Convenience
Less queuing at ticket machines and entry points leads to higher customer satisfaction, and easy access to real-time information makes it easier to plan trips, update friends, and avoid delays.
Efficiency
Crowds move faster because ticket validation is quick and easy, and passengers resolve issues in less time with app-driven services like personal assistance and easier refunds.
Savings
Reduced cash handling means fewer ticket windows to staff and fewer ticketing machines to maintain. Error reports and over-the-air updates make the system easier to debug and maintain, and the significant reduction in fraud, with easy detection of fake tickets, lowers costs, too.
Mobility
MIFARE 2GO supports new business models, so transit agencies stay competitive, and provides additional sales channels with the potential for increased revenue and interactive content. Easy expansion lets transit agencies extend their services quickly.
Availability
MIFARE offers widest customer reach, so it can be used by everyone, including the unbanked. By leveraging the extensive infrastructure that already operates with MIFARE products, MIFARE 2GO will expand rapidly on a global scale.
Flexibility
Public transport operators retain full system end-to-end ownership, allowing them to stay in control of their needs when it comes to updating fare structures or policies.
In addition, MIFARE 2GO makes integration of third party services easy and straightforward.
