Finnish contactless ticketing and RFID tag supplier 946 Confidex is to supply Lahti city’s public transport committee LSL, Lahden Seudun Liikenne, with smart tickets for the LAHTI2017 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, which take place in the city from 22 February-5 March 2017.
The tickets are compatible with the Confidex Waltti travel card system, already in use in 13 cities in Finland and in three countryside transportation areas and planned to be rolled out across Finland as a whole by 2018.
The ski championships are expected to affect local public transport with an estimated increase of 8,000 daily trips by competition staff members, added to which is an expected increase in visitors. The new ticket will have a one to seven days validity, to be used by tourists as a day pass and enabling travel for accredited suppliers and volunteer staff during the championships.
