Interim Automatic Fare Collection System

The Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality is inviting proposals for the provision of an Interim Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) and Advanced Public Transport Management System (APTMS) for a duration of three years. The selected contractor will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining a robust fare collection system that integrates seamlessly with existing transport infrastructure. This project aims to improve operational efficiency, streamline fare processes, and enhance the overall user experience for public transport commuters.

Key requirements include the development of a user-friendly interface for passengers, secure payment processing capabilities, and real-time data analytics for transport management. The contractor must demonstrate experience in similar projects and provide a comprehensive plan for system integration, staff training, and ongoing support. This initiative is expected to significantly reduce fare evasion, improve revenue collection, and provide valuable insights into public transport usage patterns, ultimately leading to better service delivery and increased commuter satisfaction.
