Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRT Corp), Malaysia, has awarded a contract valued at US$37.3 million (€33.2 million) to 509 Indra, in a consortium with local company Rasma Corporation. The company will implement its ticketing technology in the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) line of Sungai-Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya, the second subway line in the Klang Valley region, the metropolitan area of Kuala Lumpur (Greater Kuala Lumpur).

Indra will handle the engineering, design, development, testing and commissioning of all automated fare collection ticketing technology for the second subway line of the Klang Valley MRT project. The contract includes systems and machines for manual and automatic ticket sales, access control systems, software, the central ticketing system, economic management systems and station control equipment, among others.

The new solution integrates contactless technology. Tickets will be electronic cards for users who travel frequently and tokens (common in Asia) for one-way tickets. Both systems will allow users to validate their cards by simply passing them over the scanner, leading to faster and more convenient access.
