  • TTF Smartcard Ticketing on Public Transport 2010
    Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) Position Paper Smartcard ticketing on public transport July 2010 Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) is a national, Member‐funded CEO forum, advocating the public policy interests of the 200 most prestigious corporations and institutions in the Australian tourism, transport, aviation & investment sectors. CONTENTS OVERVIEW 2 SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 3 ADVANTAGES OF SMARTCARD TICKETING 3 CHALLENGES FOR IMPLEMENTATION 6 SMARTCARD TICKETING IN AUSTRALIA 8 SMARTCARD TICKETING INTERNATIONALLY 10 INNOVATION IN SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 12 LOOKING AHEAD 14 CONCLUDING REMARKS 14 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: CAROLINE WILKIE NATIONAL MANAGER, AVIATION & TRANSPORT TOURISM & TRANSPORT FORUM (TTF) P | 02 9240 2000 E | [email protected] www.ttf.org.au In short: 1. Smartcard ticketing provides convenience for commuters and efficiency gains for transport service providers. 2. Smartcard systems have been introduced in Australian cities with varying degrees of success. 3. International experience suggests that successful implementation may take many years, and difficulties are commonplace. 4. Overall, the benefits of smartcard ticketing overwhelmingly outweigh the costs and challenges that may arise in implementation. Overview Smartcard technology is being implemented around the world as a substitute for cash transactions in various capacities. When applied to public transport fare collection, smartcards eliminate the need for commuters to queue for tickets and reduce the burden on transport providers to process fare transactions. In recent years, benefits such as decreased travel times and general convenience to commuters have driven a shift towards smartcard ticketing systems on public transport systems in Australia and around the world. As well as providing more efficient transport services to commuters, smartcard ticketing systems enable service providers and transit authorities to collect comprehensive data on the travel behaviour of commuters.

No part may be reproduced by any process except in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Authorised by the Victorian Government, 80 Collins Street, Melbourne. Minister’s Foreword In February 2004, after the failure of the original privatisation framework, the Victorian Government entered into new franchise agreements with Melbourne’s public transport companies, Yarra Trams and Connex. These partnership agreements find the balance between government support for public transport in Melbourne and the operational expertise provided by experienced private rail operators. Almost one year on, the new arrangements are running smoothly, providing stability across the public transport system and giving a solid foundation for a range of improvements in service delivery. Some of the other benefits to passengers that stem from these agreements include: • Additional front-line customer service staff; • Increased security patrols; • Improved driver training programs; • All night New Year’s Eve services; • Additional rolling stock; and • Improved standards for the upkeep of transport facilities. The key themes of this summary report include the background to the failure of the original contracts, the renegotiations, the nature of the new partnership agreements and the challenges of the refranchising process.

Victorian Government Printer Transport Act 1983 CONDITIONS UNDER SECTION 220D I, Jim Betts, Director of Public Transport, pursuant to Section 220D of the Transport Act 1983, hereby determine and publish in the Government Gazette the conditions contained in the Victorian Fares and Ticketing Manual 2006 (effective 1 August 2006) to which entitlements to use the public transport services specified in that manual are to be subject (the August 2006 conditions). The August 2006 conditions take effect from and including 1 August 2006 and replace the conditions contained in the Victorian Fares and Ticketing Manual 2006 published in the Victoria Government Gazette No. S 1 Tuesday 3 January 2006 which are revoked on the August 2006 conditions taking effect. Dated 1 August 2006 JIM BETTS Director of Public Transport SPECIAL 2 S 190 1 August 2006 Victoria Government Gazette VICTORIAN FARES AND TICKETING MANUAL 2006 (effective 1 August 2006) CHAPTER 1 Introduction Over the last four years, there have been significant improvements to public transport ticketing in Victoria. More than two million $2.50 Sunday Saver tickets have been sold since the product was introduced in April 2005, with the ticket contributing to patronage growth on Sundays of more than 20 per cent. On 22 April 2006, integration between V/Line and Metcard commenced, with most V/Line tickets now valid for travel on selected metropolitan and regional bus services – significantly reducing fares for many customers. The provision of concession fares for Seniors at all times on V/Line completes a four year program to standardise concessions, fixing the previous situation where certain customers were eligible for concessions on Metcard services, but not on V/Line.

As you are aware, the committee is inquiring into factors leading to and causes of failures in the provision of metropolitan and V/Line train services. The evidence taken in this hearing is protected by parliamentary privilege under the Victorian Constitution Act 1975 and also some extended privilege under the Legislative Council’s standing orders. However, evidence repeated outside this inquiry might not necessarily carry that same privilege, so you need to be aware of that. All evidence is being recorded by Hansard reporters and a transcript will be made available to you within a few days for you correct any minor errors, but clearly not for substantive matters. At the outset I invite you to make some introductory remarks. We have your submission and we thank you for that. Thereafter we will proceed to some questions. Overheads shown. Mr CAROLAN — Thank you, and good morning to all members of the committee. I will make some introductory remarks, which basically just work through the handout you have with you.

    Select Committee on Train Services Jim Betts Secretary, Department of Transport Bernie Carolan CEO, Transport Ticketing Authority myki has not and will not affect the operation of train services in Victoria International experience suggests smartcard ticketing systems normally take five years or more to implement. Metcard will cost more to maintain into the future, and device components and technical support will become increasingly difficult to source. A myki card has an embedded microchip which can handle and store information. It also has an internal aerial. When the card is touched to a card reader, power flows through the aerial and information moves from the card to the reader and back again. The reader is linked to the 'back office' system for reconciliation of transaction and payments. Operational reasons for myki’s superiority over Metcard myki will provide an integrated ticketing system, eliminating the need for travellers to navigate three different ticketing systems. myki is a fully programmable ticketing system allowing discounts or incentives to be added to the fare structure relatively easily. The number of passengers on the metropolitan train network has more than doubled since Metcard was installed and without a new ticketing system, significant investment in additional Metcard equipment would have been required. myki is an open-architecture system. Open architecture is a common protocol allowing devices from different manufacturers to work together. Smartcard ticketing implementation timeframes City Card name Number of devices Delivery timeframe Victoria myki 20,000 5-6 years SE Queensland Go Card 8000 5 years Perth smartrider 4000 4 years London Oyster 16,000 6 years Hong Kong Octopus 3 years San Francisco Translink/Clipper 12-plus years Paris Navigo 10-plus years Holland OV-Chipkaart 7-plus years Los Angeles TAP 6000 5-plus years Houston Q-Card 5-plus years Minneapolis Go-to-card 5-plus years Ireland ITS 5-plus years Tender released in 1997.
