Helsinki, Finland, has deployed a new mobile app-based ticketing system across the greater Helsinki area, allowing public transport users to use their mobile phones to pay for public transport beyond the central tram and metro network, with the cost of the ticket debited to the user's mobile phone bill at the end of the month.
Dutch company3866 Gemalto’s 3864 Netsize Transport Ticketing complements the existing SMS tickets in use since 2006, providing direct billing connections to the mobile network operators over the Netsize platform.
Users download the Region of Helsinki ticket application to their mobile device, then select their journey from a menu, confirm the purchase and the ticket is delivered to the app. The application back-end system uses the Netsize platform to identify the user and charge them for the purchase of the ticket.
