Announcing the Passenger QR schema and integration by TransMach

We are pleased to announce the availability of a modern mobile ticketing QR schema that can be adopted by electronic ticket machine (ETM) providers to offer secure QR scanning capability for tickets sold in myTrip.

The schema utilises the latest cryptographic technologies for encrypting ticket data, ensuring that the fields in the QR code cannot be altered or copied by unauthorised individuals, whilst also shrinking the size of the encoded data resulting in a simplified QR code to increase scanning speed and accuracy.

The ETM and rider’s mobile device does not need to be online to read or generate a valid QR code, providing reliability to both operators and riders when travelling in areas with poor mobile data coverage.

The Passenger QR schema ticket data is encoded in a format that is flexible and future-facing, making it straightforward to use the Passenger QR schema for other types of ticket product and other modes of shared transport.

The first integration of this schema has been by TransMach, an ETM provider that provides solutions for several operators using myTrip.

Operators using Transmach’s TM500 on-bus and TM920 handheld ETMs will be able to validate QR codes for mobile tickets sold in myTrip and enjoy the benefits of a more secure ticketing option that reduces the risk of fraud, whilst still allowing the rider to benefit from the convenient and fast boarding experience offered by mobile ticketing.

We are able to provide the Passenger QR schema to any ETM provider wishing to offer their customers and riders a modern QR scanning capability when retailing tickets in myTrip.
