Unlocking open architecture in ticketing integrations for powerful, inexpensive, seamless journeys
Jeff Kessler, Director of Innovation for Keolis Commuter Services, will provide an overview of the ways Keolis is leveraging open architecture, APIs, and related integrations to provide a seamless customer experience in ticketing across multiple platforms. From automated ticket gates that accept more than a dozen forms of barcode-based media, to onboard contactless credit card and digital wallet sales deployed without new hardware, Keolis has successfully processed millions of validations as the MBTA’s operating partner for Greater Boston’s Commuter Rail network while remaining nimble, flexible, and adaptable. Likewise, a look to future developments in open data standards like GTFS and TODS will give a glimpse into the evolving future of simple solutions for advanced ticketing integrations.
