This technology enhancement will allow riders to pay with
contactless credit and debit cards, offering easier access to AVM’s
local public transport service in the metropolitan area of Venice
and the integrated mobility services in the urban area.
Implementation will begin in 2023.
AVM took an innovative approach in selecting the project’s
partners, each bringing their expertise and capabilities to the
collaboration:
- Conduent and Elavon, a global payments company, formed a
business collaboration to support this project.
- Conduent will deliver the end-to-end technical infrastructure,
including 1,900 validators, to enable contactless payments on the
Venice transportation network.
- Elavon will provide the acquiring service, handling the
end-to-end process for credit and debit card payments.
The Conduent system will also enable travelers to use
NFC-enabled devices such as smartphones and smartwatches with
digital wallets. Fares will be calculated and optimized to the best
fare for customers.
The Venice transport network includes a fleet of 149 vessels
(water buses, speedboats, motorboats and ferries), more than 150
wharfs, 540 buses, 20 trams on two lines and two people movers.
Approximately 100-120 million passengers travel on the Venice
public transport network every year.
