Conduent Inc. has been selected to deliver a comprehensive transportation ticketing system in the Lombardy region of northern Italy that will be used by hundreds of thousands of passengers each day.
Trenord, operator of passenger trains in the Lombardy region and seven other transit agencies are involved in the project, including Milan city transport operator ATM. Conduent will provide eight ticketing projects for metro, bus and suburban train services that will help the transit agencies offer seamless travel across the region.
The contract will see the deployment of the Conduent Fare Collection System across the region, including ticket vending machines, card and ticket validators and dedicated back office systems for each of the eight operators.
“The project is a great example of how Conduent is optimizing new and existing infrastructure to make mobility smarter, more coordinated and efficient,” said Jean-Charles Zaia, vice president and portfolio leader, public transport, Conduent.
Installation of the new system is scheduled to start in the second half of 2018.
