Automated fare collection (AFC) reduces infrastructural costs by centrally managing the fare collection process thus, ensures transparency, and maintains key datasets & records. This reduces fraud, while simultaneously offering increased operational efficiency and ease of payment to customers. Furthermore, AFC reduces operational expenditures by minimizing manpower and other resources for fare collection and ensures a smooth flow of traffic during peak hours. Therefore, it is expected to drive the AFC industry growth during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the automated fare collection industry owing to the cancellation or postponement of various transportation projects in 2020 due to strict lockdowns imposed by various countries’ governments to curb the virus transmission. However, the market witnessed exponential growth since early 2021 due to supportive government initiatives in the transportation sector to accelerate the pandemic-affected economic growth. The rapid development of public infrastructure and transportation systems across developing economies along with the growing awareness for fast and reliable fare collection systems is driving the automated fare collection industry growth.

Furthermore, governments across developing economies are adopting various initiatives to promote automated fare collection systems. For instance, in June 2021, National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), India announced the adoption of an automatic fare collection system for the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor. This development aims to design an automated fare collection system build with QR Code based ticketing systems, vending machines, and pre-paid/credit/debit card readers. This will follow regulatory debit and credit card compliance for hassle-free cashless transactions along with ensuring a contactless entry and exit process for commuters.

Automated fare collection helps in avoiding fraud and minimizes revenue leakages by reducing the number of people from the system through the collection of fares and assigning tickets directly to the user. It helps eliminate practices such as unregistered tickets and black selling via real-time monitoring and tracking of operational processes. Furthermore, it also ensures the validity of the fare with the help of dynamic QR codes, and its design also embeds advanced AI algorithms and encryption to avoid duplication of tickets. These factors are expected to drive significant growth for the AFC industry during the forecast period.

Advancements in digital technologies such as big data analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing are creating new opportunities for players in the automated fare collection industry. These technologies ensure AI-based fraud detection techniques and offer a user-friendly interface on multiple devices and platforms for a seamless boarding process. These technologies also aggregate information and insights related to agencies, providers, media types, transaction types, routes, vehicle types, locations, and others. Along with the following features AFC offers flexible payment and settlement functionalities.
