RSS509 Indra has been awarded a US9.9 million contract by Tenerife's regional government to implement the latest public transportation management technology in its urban and inter-city services.

Indra will install an operation assistance system (OAS) to manage a fleet of 530 buses on the island and an integrated contactless-ticketing solution for its buses and streetcar services.

Passengers will now be able to use a single contactless card on urban and intercity buses, streetcars and also 40 taxis on the island.
