RSSVeriFone Systems has announced its Payware Mobile Enterprise and managed services solution has been selected by Austrian company Westbahn Management for use as a mobile ticketing validation and payment service when its innovative rail service begins this December.
Westbahn is a private rail service that will operate on the Vienna-Salzburg line, offering passengers hourly on-time service in new double-decker trains. All on-board customer service representatives will be equipped with Payware Mobile Enterprise, which transforms a wireless PDA into a secure payment solution and incorporates a 2D bar code scanner that will be used by Westbahn conductors to scan and validate tickets.
“VeriFone’s mobile payment solution provides us with another important modernization tool in our efforts to innovate Austrian train service,” said Stefan Wehinger, CEO, founder and co-owner of Westbahn. “We’ll be able to provide speedy and convenient on-board ticketing and without the convenience fees that travellers are accustomed to.”
