The project is designed to demonstrate the speed and convenience of the new channel for end users and a range of compelling commercial benefits for service providers. Users will be able to download the transport application developed by 1809 Samsung and specially designed for Samsung Galaxy smartphones, which enables users to securely register payment cards purchase digital tickets, as well as receive fare details, interacting with the transport virtual card to check pending balances, etc.
 
The system provides CRTM with an efficient ticket sales channel which is available to its customers 24/7, direct from mobile handsets. Travellers simply tap their phone on existing contactless readers, reducing waiting times.
