AEP brings electronic ticketing to Pomerania
Won the tender together with Asseco Data Systems (ADS)
IThe ticketing system for public transport in Pomerania (Poland) is revolutionized, and it does so also thanks to the solutions of AEP Ticketing solutions, a company based in Signa (Fi), a leader in the sector for years. Specifically, the tender, launched by InnoBaltica, was awarded to the temporary consortium made up of Asseco Data Systems (ADS) and AEP, for 105 million slots (approximately 23 million euros). The electronic ticketing and passenger information system will cover the Polish province of Pomerania, which includes the three big cities Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot, and will be ready by 2022. AEP will supply approximately 6,000 EMV Futura 3ALX and Futura 3B validators, together with newly ones designed for stations.
The agreement was signed on June 14th at the PKM Jasień railway junction in Gdansk. The ceremony was attended by representatives of the local authorities of Pomerania: Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship Mieczysław Struk, vice president of Gdansk Piotr Borawski, as well as Marcin Stefanski, president of the board of directors of Innobaltica, Andrzej Dopierała CEO of Asseco Data Systems and Saverio Bettini, MD of AEP Ticketing solutions.
