By: Pedro Rodrigues and Mark Beresford
Transit operators, banks and payment schemes are now developing initiatives that will allow commuters to pay for travel fares directly at the ticketing gates as well as use the same card to make in-store purchases.

Open Loop is probably the one model that will prevail in the long term, but there are challenges to overcome from each of the stakeholder’s viewpoints.
