The smart Ticketing Market is majorly driven by its significant adoption in several public transportation companies.

Similar to Italy, smart ticketing is growing with the significant rate in many other regions along with the advancements in innovations such as ‘open loop concept’ where passengers can utilise their debit and credit cards or mobile devices with payment functionalities, like wearables, for ticket payments, says Prashil Sawale of AllTheResearch. One such open loop system is named as ‘National Public Transport Card’ using which people can pay ticket fares for all the public transport.
