Overview
The MT 300C mobile ticket vending machine has been created to deliver an integrated passenger solution for use on buses, trams, trains and metro operations.
It can be used as a standalone unit or interfaced with an on-board terminal, turnstile or computer.
Throughout the design process, maximum speed during each transaction was taken as a vital consideration. As such, the device can be configured to accept all credit cards, coins and contactless smartcards, totally seamlessly. There is also an option to have a credit card-only machine or a coin-operated machine if you prefer.
The device is configured so as not to give change, but will accept overpayment thus increasing revenue for the operator. Passengers, however, can cancel a transaction, in which case coins will be returned.
