Standardized deployment and maintenance of a contactless ticket collection system to ensure passenger satisfaction, safety and efficiency.
Plan Group has been selected to work with 11 transit authorities to deploy and maintain the latest contactless payment solutions on all buses, streetcars, subways and transit stations in southern, central and eastern Ontario.
