Siemens Mobility subsidiary Eos.uptrade has integrated a 'best price' ticketing module into an app provided by German transport agency Stuttgarter Straßenbahnen (SSB).
Siemens says the module automatically calculates the best possible price at all times, removing the need for passengers to decide whether a single ticket, day ticket or a weekly / monthly ticket is the right choice for them.
The app comes with a price overview, which shows the 'best price' option as well as the savings compared to a ticket without this optimisation.
According to Siemens, the integrated solution means passengers do not need to register again, as all relevant data is stored in the app and the payment method specified for the customer is used for monthly billing.
Andre Rodenbeck, CEO rail infrastructure at Siemens Mobility, says: “This is another example of how smart and innovative applications can intelligently integrate and coordinate transportation to create a more seamless and convenient travel experience.”
Mathias Hüske, managing director at Eos.uptrade, says: “Corona has significantly accelerated changes in our working environments and thus also in our mobility behaviour. This increases the need for flexible and attractive public transport services.”
