AUTOMATIC FARE COLLECTION

Automatic Fare Collection or AFC systems are hardware units powered by secure and scalable AFC software solutions that are built to automatically handle fare collection in places of high footfall, such as, metro rails, railways, mass rapid transition systems, bus rapid transit systems, ferries, waterways, parking lots, etc. AFC systems are used for cash flow automation and sustained revenue assurance even while dissipating queues and crowds quickly during heavy rush hours.

Contactless Fare Collection is a mobile application that allows passengers to book tickets and transit passes by using their mobile phones, even for multi-modal connected journeys across a railway, a waterway, and a roadway. It allows contact-free and cash free transactions, which are facilitated by UPI, credit cards, debit cards, and net banking.

AFC Central Clearing House System or CCHS is a fully automated, brick and mortar centralized operations facility that apportions a passenger-specific fare collected for a connected journey, across different transit operators, who manage different modes of travel. It uses processes similar to the apportioning of revenue collected for mobile calls engaging different mobile operators across different geographical zones.
