Golden Arrow Bus Services (GABS), the principal bus operator in Western Cape, South Africa, has selected 251 Parkeon’s on-bus and back office technology to help deliver its future ticketing strategy for Cape Town and its metropolitan area.
The deal includes 1,250 Wayfarer200 driver consoles, 62 fixed and mobile point-of-sale units, depot cashier and driver dispatching devices, and an integrated back office, depot management and administrative software solution.
GABS has run scheduled bus services in Cape Town for over 150 years, and today provides around 52 million passenger journeys annually across 1,300 routes. In 2015, they became the largest bus operator in South Africa to achieve prestigious Road Transport Management System (RTMS) accreditation.
As part of the project, Parkeon will provide contactless smartcard technology to replace the current ‘Clip Card’ single and multi-journey products at GABS points-of-sale, which will be validated via the Wayfarer200 console and viewable on a Parkeon inspection app. A web-based back office will manage on-bus and fixed location transactions, with a software suite providing a range of management reports.
