Indra is tasked with introducing a contactless payment system for Dublin's transport network, within the BusConnects Programme. The system will allow payments via bank cards and mobile phones. While initial plans show promise in improving passenger service and reducing cash transaction delays, progress reports indicate that the project is still in the design phase and will take about three years for completion. Meanwhile, Dublin has seen a rise in passenger numbers by 40%, with improvements in bus service punctuality. The wider project includes expanding bus lanes and enhancing infrastructure with electric buses.
According to the NTA, passenger boardings are up 40pc in areas where the new BusConnects network has been implemented.
The introduction of a next-generation ticketing system by Indra aims to allow passengers to pay fares using bank cards or mobile phones.
The rollout of the project has led to a spike in passengers in Dublin, with improved punctuality and regularity for bus services.
The project, part of the larger BusConnects Programme, is set to deliver significant advancements in bus and cycle infrastructure for the region.
