The contract includes the installation of 720 ARC3300 T5 validators on board trams operating in the city. With enhanced user interface and contactless features, the validator enables passengers to pay fares more quickly and conveniently, while the Telexis’ e-ticketing solution provides the vehicle system’s automatic fare collection capability and online monitoring.
 
“HTM has awarded this contract to Atos Worldline with Telexis and Arcontia as its partners in order to introduce new solutions within its new vehicles. Through this solution, HTM will be the first public transport operator in the Netherlands to have a multi vendor automatic fare collection e-ticketing infrastructure”, says Ronald van den Berg, the e-ticketing program director of HTM, The Hague
 
“The Dutch public transport market has always been one of the most important markets for Arcontia, in particular as our products and solutions have been widely deployed in the OV-Chipkaart system. With the first contract already being awarded in 2006, we are once again a key player in the OV-Chipkaart system, this time with one of our latest smart card terminals, the ARC3300 T5 validator”, says Magnus Stahlberg, CEO, Arcontia.
