Access-IS helps deliver mobile ticketing to the Kent commuter belt

The Kings Ferry, Kent’s leading luxury commuter coach service, has just taken delivery of a Mobile Onboard ticketing solution featuring Access-IS barcode readers. The service, which guarantees a luxury seat, in air conditioned comfort into London on the 44 minute journey in from the Kent countryside whilst still delivering a cost saving to passengers compared to the train.

The installation sees 50 Access-IS ATR110 barcode readers mounted to the dashboards of The Kings Ferry fleet for intuitive use by passengers as they board. Drivers receive a slick user interface that is quick and simple to use, thanks to Mobile Onboard’s latest smart ETM. The low cost, yet powerful mTicketr has all the key features found in more expensive systems but in a compact package with a highly responsive touchscreen.

The ATR110 has a small footprint, robust design and great track record; all of which make it the perfect choice for installation onto dashboards of The Kings Ferry fleet, ensuring easy access for passengers without compromising the area around the driver’s seat or obscuring the view through the windscreen.

Digital validation of mobile tickets on buses, coaches, light and heavy rail, is becoming a more common requirement from transport operators. They recognise the value of the data collected on-board as well as the extra revenue protection it provides. The benefits of the on-board mTicketr solution for The Kings Ferry are clear, but to minimise passenger boarding times, it has to happen in an instant. The ATR110's accurate, sub-second scanning combined with mTicketr smart ETM makes that instant on-bus validation possible. This process is notably quicker and more accurate than visual confirmation by the driver; delivering a smoother and more efficient passenger boarding experience.

Speaking about the Access-IS products, Corbin Adler, Director at Mobile Onboard said, “Our familiarity with Access-IS readers, plus their consistent high-performance scanning during our product development, gave us confidence that the ATR110 was the perfect unit to partner with our new mTicketr smart ETMs. As we progress with our ongoing mTicketr ETM development, we are looking forward to exploiting the ATR110's capabilities even further”.
