Single-Trip, Double-Trip, 30-minutes, 90-minutes, adults, children, elderly, including transfers, not including transfers, daily ticket, monthly ticket, 20 times ticket, zone A, zone B, multiple Zone, etc. So many different options to remember and to manage...
One of my most troubling experience was the need to find my route and to select the right ticket when I were in Japan, it was quite hard to manage inside a foreign system of transportation and avoid getting a fine if I made a mistake. But even when I'm dealing with my country's public transportation system I find myself in doubt exactly what type of ticket should I buy.
But even after I've spend time on the line for the tickets vending machine or to a manually managed system, I still need to validate my card when I'm getting aboard the bus, train, sub, or boat. If I forget to do so, the ticket is not valid and I may get a fine for it.
The idea is to use mobile money along as the smartphone abilities to communication with its surrounding using many types of protocols and also its ability to communicate through the internet with the transportation system using the smartphone owner's properties and configuration to be able to select the suitable ticket or plan for the ride.
A smartphone app shall be use for pre-configuration of the owner parameters and properties. Age, entitlements, prefer addresses (home, work, businesses, school) and times. It shall use these parameters to optimize the ticket or plan purchase and also perform the validation process automatically.
No more need to stand in line to buy your tickets, no more need to select the suitable plan or ticket that perfectly match your route and eligibility, no more need to validate your ticket when you are aboard. Everything is managed automatically as you preconfigured.
The user shall be able also to perform an action which is quite hard nowadays - to dynamically change his route after starting his trip. Switching trains outside the preconfigured zone shall be performed using an online and real-time purchase of the suitable ticket.
The mobile money shall be capable, if this idea become real, to make the user fully mobile, without hassle, while giving him the best offer in terms of price.

Hello,
ترجمةTransports tickets system are always more and more complex, and few initiatives exist to simplify them.
Have you seen these ideas on Imagine ?

One thing still needs to be solved : how to access restricted areas if you don't have a physical ticket ? Maybe NFC or a QR Code scan at turnstyles could be a solution.
But it is a local problem : some transports networks allows anyone to enter the subway without verifying if they have a ticket : it is the case in Vienna or Copenhagen for example.

Thanks for the detailed comment and for the reference ideas, I didn't see them before and indeed they enrich the original concept I've submitted.
ترجمةThe physical restriction issue may be solved, as you proposed, using NFC or QR code scanning by the phone that communicated the local system and open the gate. Alternatively, when this system become popular and dominant, maybe more and more transportation networks will join Vienna and Copenhagen and adopt a less strict accessing method.

I like that your phone handles your Id (owner's parameters) so that you can benefit frome the approriate fares.
