Integrated ticketing
across your systems
Synchronise systems across your network.
Explore the solutionWhen systems align, public transport runs smoothly
Public transport networks work best when all the systems – ticketing, passenger data, vehicle tracking, and communication tools – function as one. But too often, separate technologies create gaps and slow things down. In many African cities, transport systems are fragmented, making it harder to optimise services. Trapeze connects all these elements, creating a flow of data that improves how your network runs.
The downside of fragmented systems
Without a unified system, transport authorities and operators face a number of operational challenges.
- Fare evasion goes unnoticed. Limited visibility into actual passenger numbers makes it hard for authorities to spot fare evasion, so revenue and day-to-day operations are affected.
- GPS data is inconsistent. When multiple devices report different locations, distance calculations become inaccurate, which leads to ticketing errors and unhappy commuters.
- Too many devices increase costs. Multiple devices on each vehicle add complexity, and as a result, costs increase for both authorities and operators.
- Hard to match passenger numbers with ticket sales. Separate systems make it difficult for authorities to match passenger volumes with ticket sales, which makes discrepancies harder to detect and resolve.
- Too many systems to manage. Juggling multiple data sources and devices creates unnecessary complexity, making it harder for authorities to optimise services and for operators to manage day-to-day operations.
True integration starts here
Trapeze pulls all systems into one seamless platform, putting authorities in control of operations, data, and service delivery. Expect smoother operations, more control and more reliable services across your network.
Passenger counters for fare evasion detection
Automated Passenger Counters (APCs) track passengers getting on and off at each stop. By comparing this data with ticket usage, operators can easily spot discrepancies. Quickly identifying fare evasion protects revenue and helps maintain compliance.
Single source of GPS coordinates
Accurate location data is key for distance-based fares. Trapeze uses a single GPS source for all onboard systems, to make sure that fare calculations are always correct. This eliminates errors and guarantees consistent, reliable ticketing.
Unified communication via a single router
Onboard systems – including ticketing, passenger counters, and fleet management – communicate through one router. This cuts down on hardware, simplifies operations, and ensures smooth, secure data transmission across the network.
Unite systems for a smarter, faster network
We help transport authorities optimise their bus networks with seamless integration. By unifying systems, you gain better control, enhanced performance, and the flexibility to scale with future demands.

Protect revenue
Protect more fare revenue
Passenger counters and fare evasion detection tools help you accurately track people getting on and off buses, ensuring you don’t miss out on revenue. Spot discrepancies and act to protect your income.
Ensure accurate fares
With Trapeze, all onboard systems share a single, consistent GPS source, ensuring precise and reliable distance-based fare calculations. No more discrepancies or unhappy commuters – just accurate, trustworthy data for your fare systems.
Simplify operations
Trapeze reduces hardware complexity by using a single onboard router to handle all communications. This streamlines your system architecture, reduces the number of devices you need to manage, and makes your operations smoother and more cost-effective.
Reduce costs
Cut down on maintenance and infrastructure costs with an integrated platform that’s easier to manage. Trapeze helps you optimise resources, lower operational expenses, and free up time for other critical improvements.
Gain better insights
By integrating ticketing, passenger flow, and vehicle movement data, Trapeze gives you real-time, actionable insights into your network. Make faster, smarter decisions to improve service and efficiency across the board.
Scale with ease
Trapeze’s scalable platform grows with your needs. Ready to support future innovations like mobile ticketing, real-time passenger information, and advanced analytics, it ensures your network stays ahead of the curve as demands evolve.
Systems built to run together
Bring your ticketing, data and operations together in a system that works in real operating conditions.
Real-time service adjustments
The system monitors demand and allows services to be adjusted as it changes, with vehicles added or diverted during peak periods to keep your network running smoothly.
Keep services running offline
Ticket validation continues even without a network connection, so services aren’t disrupted when the network connection drops.
Update fare rules across your network
Fare rules are managed centrally and pushed to all devices, keeping your system consistent and up to date.
One card across multiple systems
The same smart card can be used across different transport systems when open standards are in place, making travel simpler and more consistent.
