The Conduent system also enables travelers to use NFC-enabled devices such as smartphones and smartwatches with digital wallets.\n\n\nTo support AVM’s transportation modernization initiative, Conduent supplied over 2,200 validators, which enable fare payment on Venice’s fleet of 149 vessels (water buses, speedboats, motorboats and ferries), more than 150 wharfs, 540 buses, 20 trams and two people movers. The validators offer a single point of validation not only for credit and debit cards but for all other media, such as Venezia Unica cards and electronic tickets. Approximately 180 million passengers travel on the Venice public transport network every year.\n\n\nIn addition, the system enables AVM to offer best fare pricing for the first time. Best fare pricing ensures that customers are automatically charged the lowest available price for the journeys taken each day.\n\n\n“It’s been a few busy months of work that has made EMV technology a reality on the whole transport network managed by AVM,” said Giovanni Seno, General Manager of Gruppo AVM. “I thank all the company teams who have worked hard to achieve this important result, putting professionalism, competence and the desire to improve into their daily work. We have progressively improved the customer experience of the new validators – also listening to feedback received from passengers – and we are looking forward to the summer season with an innovation ...
