Dutch RFID and IoT provider 6370 Smartrac has launched its latest RFID inlay for public transport applications, the dual frequency pre-laminated inlay. The new product combines a pre-laminated inlay with two secure contactless chips, one working in high frequency and the other in ultra-high frequency (UHF), into a single card.

The card allows transport operators to select the type of revenue collection method appropriate to the point of entry, including hands-free or be-in-be-out fare collection in very large traffic channels or for physically challenged commuters. In standard entry or exit, check-in-check-out fare collection reader terminals can be deployed.

Available in PVC, PC, PET-G or Teslin, Smartrac offers the inlay with several combinations of secure and popular contactless chips. With the high frequency chip there choose between NXP MIFARE DESFire EV2, Sony FeliCa RC-SA01 4KB or the Infineon myD4Move while the UHF chip offerings include NXP UCODE DNA or Impinj Monza.

    David Crawford takes a look at the debate surrounding bus subsidies. Subsidies for public transport are a well-known and frequently-used policy tool directed at reducing the high environmental and social costs of peak-period traffic congestion. But at the end of last year the Swedish Centre for Transport Studies published a working paper entitled ‘Should buses still be subsidised in Stockholm?’ This concluded that the subsidy levels currently being applied in Stockholm could be nearly halved by setting bus
