UK parking management and ticketing supplier 251 Parkeon is playing its part in the modernisation of Algeria’s tramways with the simultaneous introduction of new ticketing architectures in the cities of Oran and Constantine.

Magnetic tickets for occasional users and contactless cards for subscribers are offered at 150 outlets fitted with Parkeon terminals in Constantine, supplemented by Astreo issuing machines at stations in Oran, giving citizens the opportunity to pay by credit and debit card – said to be a first for Algeria. In total, more than 450 mixed magnetic and contactless ticket validators enable travellers to board quickly and improve the passenger experience.

The technology supports multi-lingual graphical user interfaces providing information in Arabic and French, making it easier for new users to adapt to this mode of transport.

Parkeon’s central ticketing server, TransFolio, is used to manage fares and tariffs, equipment, subscription cards, revenue and statistical information.
