RSSBelgian public transport operators 840 De Lijn and TEC, and parking operator 6842 Interparking, have selected 150 ASK, French provider of contactless technology, as the supplier of interoperable MoBIB contactless smart cards for transportation in Belgium.
MoBIB is a multi-application and multimodal contactless card based on ASK’s TanGO CT 4018 EMV compliant contactless card, with embedded increased cryptography and triple DES security, allowing each operator and service provider to maintain and manage its own customer database.
The MoBIB application is used by the four Belgian transportation organisations,5461 STIB, SNCB, De Lijn and TEC and allows users to travel on all transport modes throughout Belgium with a single card. The card also allows cross-border interoperability with participating countries, parking access control and cycle hire.
“We have selected ASK for its long experience in transport tele-ticketing, its expertise in dual interface cards and the TanGO OS performance in terms of security, flexibility and transaction speed, combined with a competitive unit price, states Roger Kesteloot, De Lijn General Manager”.
Roland Cracco, Managing Director of Interparking, says: “A full and seamless intermodality can be efficient only if mobility providers are fully involved in the transportation stream.”
“Contactless technology facilitates our daily life and will no doubt do the same for the millions of Belgian citizens and visitors who will use a single card for several services, says Patrick Sure, director of ASK’s transport business unit. “TanGO flexibility will pave the way to border crossing commuting.”
