Karlsruhe/Los Angeles, Ca. The Southern California Regional Rail Authority,
Metrolink, has awarded INIT Innovations in Transportation, Inc. with the
contract to update and modernize the existing fare collection system. The
system will be comprised of 155 new Ticket Vending Devices (TVDs), seven
Ticket Office Machines (TOMs), and a core back-office account-based system.
The new TVDs will accept both cash and cashless transactions.
Metrolink contracted INIT to build a fare system that will allow the agency
to integrate with third-party systems today while planning for prospective
enhancements in the future. INIT was chosen to replace Metrolink's legacy
TVDs, thereby helping them reduce capital and ongoing operating costs while
maintaining the current TVDs.
The new fare system is expected to improve the Authority's operational
efficiency and fiscal sustainability, while simplifying fare purchases for
riders and increasing ticket issuance speed.
"INIT is very excited about partnering with Metrolink to bring a modernized
fare system to Los Angeles," says INIT CEO Roland Staib. "The TVD's will
bring unique benefits to the agency in terms of greater efficiency and lower
operating costs, while enhancing the passenger experience in getting around
their city."
