The #COVID19 pandemic has exposed previously unthinkable vulnerabilities in #transit agencies’ revenue controls that demand immediate attention. When the outbreak struck, many transit agencies had to stop collecting fares entirely because they lacked safe, contactless payment methods. #Bytemark's Edward Donovan will discuss ways to address those vulnerabilities, including procurement and implementation of new systems, at tomorrow’s #APTAtech Conference, hosted virtually by Am...erican Public Transportation Association. Ed’s session with co-presenter Eric Kaled, titled "Open and Contactless Payment and the Realities of Technology," will take place on Sept. 9 at 2:15 p.m. Register for the conference: https://www.apta.com/conferences-events/aptatech/ #movingbeyond with Siemens Mobility, HaCon - A Siemens Company and #Genfare #bytemark #thoughtleadership #transitinnovation #transitpayments #mobility #innovation #fintech #MaaS #PaaS #webinars #cashlesspayments #contactlesspayments #aptatech20
