Movilidad Integrada (logo) Órgano Regulador De Transporte (CETRAM)
The Tarjeta de Movilidad Integrada (MI; literal English translation: ''Integrated Mobility Card'') is a contactless smart card introduced in Mexico City in October 2005 as "Tarjeta Metrobús". It is used on the public transport system of the Mexico City as a fare card. It offers interoperability with the Metro, Metrobús, Ecobici, Cablebús, Light train, RTP and Trolleybus systems. Background In 1986, the Mexico City Government (then called ''Distrito Federal''), implemented a plastic card called ''Abono'' for the STC Metr, this card was used similarly to the paper ticket used but with the difference that it could be reused multiple times, unlike the paper ticket that was usable only once. The card was sold from 1986 until its discontinuation in 1995. Pilot programs for a card that could work with all of the city's transport system started in October 2005 with the STC Metro for users that are exempted from paying to access the system (STC employees, users with evident d ...

Calypso (electronic Ticketing System)
Calypso is an international electronic ticketing standard for microprocessor contactless smart cards, originally designed by a group of transit operators from 11 countries including Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, México, Portugal and others. It ensures multi-sources of compatible products, and allows for interoperability between several transport operators in the same area. History Calypso was born in 1993 from a partnership between the Paris transit operator RATP and ''Innovatron'', a company owned by the French smartcard inventor, Roland Moreno. The key features of the scheme were patented by ''Innovatron''. Most European transit operators from Belgium, Germany, France, Italy and Portugal eventually joined the group in the following years. The first use of the technology was in 1996. In the same time, the international standard ISO/IEC 14443 for contactless smart cards was being designed, and the actors of Calypso strongly lobbied to have their technology ...

Fare Card
A stored-value card (SVC) is a payment card with a monetary value stored on the card itself, not in an external account maintained by a financial institution. This means no network access is required by the payment collection terminals as funds can be withdrawn and deposited straight from the card. Like cash, payment cards can be used anonymously as the person holding the card can use the funds. They are an electronic development of token coins and are typically used in low-value payment systems or where network access is difficult or expensive to implement, such as parking machines, public transport systems, closed payment systems in locations such as ships or within companies. Stored-value cards differ from debit cards, where money is on deposit with the issuer, and credit cards which are subject to credit limits set by the issuer and are connected to accounts at financial institutions. Another difference between stored-value cards and debit and credit cards is that debit and c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Contactless Smart Card
A contactless smart card is a contactless credential whose dimensions are credit-card size. Its embedded integrated circuits can store (and sometimes process) data and communicate with a terminal via NFC. Commonplace uses include transit tickets, bank cards and passports. There are two broad categories of contactless smart cards. Memory cards contain non-volatile memory storage components, and perhaps some specific security logic. Contactless smart cards contain read-only RFID called CSN (Card Serial Number) or UID, and a re-writeable smart card microchip that can be transcribed via radio waves. Overview A contactless smart card is characterized as follows: *Dimensions are normally credit card size. The ID-1 of ISO/IEC 7810 standard defines them as 85.60 × 53.98 × 0.76 mm (3.370 × 2.125 × 0.030 in). *Contains a security system with tamper-resistant properties (e.g. a secure cryptoprocessor, secure file system, human-readable features) and is capable of providing sec ...

Red De Transporte De Pasajeros
The Red de Transporte de Pasajeros de la Ciudad de México (RTP; English: Mexico City Passenger Transportation Network) offers urban bus service in Mexico City. It is administered by the Government of Mexico City and carries approximately 400,000 passengers per day on more than 100 routes. History Public bus service in the Mexico City metropolitan area was provided by several private concessions starting from 1916, including the Lomas de Chapultepec Primera Clase, which was founded in 1942. That company faced bankruptcy in 1958 and was federalized when the Distrito Federal de México (DDF) took over operations, renaming the service to Lomas de Chapultepec–Reforma Ruta 100, which continued to compete with private companies until August 1981, when the DDF revoked private concessions and formed Autotransportes Urbanos de Pasajeros Ruta 100 (Route 100). On May 3, 1989 the Ruta 100 worker's union Sindicato Único de Trabajadores de Ruta 100 (SUTAUR 100) went on strike, asking for doubl ...
