Conduent Transportation and Flowbird Selected to Equip Paris Ile-de-France Mobilites’ Buses and Trams with Next Generation Onboard Ticketing Platform


GUILHERAND-GRANGES, France and PARIS, France, Feb. 17, 2021 — Conduent Transportation, a unit of business process services and solutions company Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), and Flowbird, a French company specializing in urban mobility payment methods, today announced that they have been selected by Comutitres, on behalf of its members and the transport authority Ile-de-France Mobilités, to replace all Ile-de-France bus and tram onboard ticketing platforms with next-generation technology. The Ile-de-France region has a population of approximately 12 million who take about 9 million trips every day on public transport.

Comutitres, which is in charge of ticket management for public (RATP, SNCF) and private (Optile) transport operators on behalf of Ile de France Mobilités, has chosen the Conduent-Flowbird alliance to install a modern onboard ticketing platform to replace outdated equipment across the transit network. In this newly awarded 10-year contract, Conduent and Flowbird will design, install and maintain the driver consoles, ticket validators, central units and communication devices on board the region’s public-transit vehicles.

“The modernization of the Ile-de-France ticketing system is continuing. Ile-de-France Mobilités aims to make life easier for the millions of people using public transport in Ile-de-France thanks to some of the most modern ticketing services in the world. This project is a new stage in our ambitious strategy to transform ticketing,” said Laurent Probst, Managing Director of Ile-de-France Mobilités.

“It is a source of great pride for Comutitres to see, through this contract, the convergence of the needs and requirements of transport operators in the Paris region with the desire of Ile-de-France Mobilités to implement a common range of ticketing equipment and onboard systems,” said Eric Lainé, Managing Director of Comutitres. “Conduent Transportation and Flowbird will help us to implement the desired solution thanks to their experience and expertise in ticketing system modernization projects.”

This new onboard ticketing platform will be one of the largest of its kind based on Information Technology for Public Transport ( ITxPT ) specifications, which are increasingly becoming an industry standard. The ITxPT association provides specifications and guidelines for open architecture, data and interoperability between IT systems, for public transport and other mobility services.

“More than ever, solutions that encourage modal shift to public transport and optimize the management of urban spaces are at the heart of the needs of city dwellers. The choice of Comutitres to implement open and interoperable technologies fully attests to this,” said Bertrand Barthelemy, CEO of Flowbird. “With our 600 high-tech engineers in France, specializing in urban mobility, we are pleased to bring our skills and expertise to support Comutitres in the renewal of ticketing in the Ile-de-France region.”

“Comutitres has a bold vision of a modern, technologically advanced system that will equip the buses and trams of the Ile-de-France region and become a model for the world,” said Jean-Charles Zaia, General Manager, Public Transit at Conduent Transportation. “Given our more than 50 years of expertise in this area, our team is well positioned to help Comutitres implement an onboard solution at scale for one of the largest transit systems in the world. Ile-de-France transit authorities and operators have been valued clients of Conduent for more than 25 years, and we’re honored to expand our partnership on this major project.”

Member News: Conduent Seamless® Transportation System Now Allows Passengers in France’s Tours Métropole Urban Area to Use Their Smartphone for Contactless Payments

Conduent Seamless® Transportation System Now Allows Passengers in France’s Tours Métropole Urban Area to Use Their Smartphone for Contactless Payments


GUILHERAND-GRANGES, France and FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Dec. 14, 2020 — Conduent Transportation, a unit of business process services and solutions company Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), today announced the successful implementation and rollout of the Conduent Seamless ® Transportation System across the 200 buses and 21 trams in Tours Métropole’s Fil Bleu public transport network.

Leveraging this system, the residents of the Tours metropolitan area can now access buses and trams using their smartphone for contactless payments. Given current health concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic, contactless payments have an added benefit of limiting contact between drivers and passengers.

How the system works
Conduent has installed Near Field Communication (NFC) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tags on Fil Bleu’s buses and trams. The user downloads the Seamless ® Transportation System app onto their NFC (for Android) or BLE (for iOS) enabled smartphone and registers to activate their account. To travel, they simply present their smartphone at any tag. The tag then creates and stores an encrypted transaction and relays it to the smartphone.

The solution is universal. It is designed independently of SIM cards and compatible with all mobile phone operators. It can be installed quickly and uses encryption technology and other security protocols to ensure data privacy and security.

“The Fil Bleu public transportation network carries nearly 40 million travelers every year. Thanks to the Seamless ® Transportation System, we can enhance the passenger experience by making onboard payments easier and faster,” said Loïc Latour, Director of Passenger Mobility at Fil Bleu. “The system’s interoperability and compatibility with other transit systems in France using the Seamless ® Transportation System is an additional significant benefit to the riders of Fil Bleu.”

A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on the image or link below:

Seven urban areas in France use the Seamless ® Transportation System
In addition to the Tours Métropole Fil Bleu bus and tram service, passengers have access to the Blois urban community transit network, Agglopolys.

The Tours Métropole implementation is the most recent application of the Seamless ® Transportation System in France. This year, the system has also been introduced in the Métropole Toulon Provence Méditerranée and the Perpignan Méditerranée Métropole urban communities. Combined, 1.5 million residents in seven urban areas across France can access their transportation systems using the Seamless ® Transportation System.

“Across France and the rest of Europe, transportation systems are looking to modernize their ticketing systems so that passengers can access the systems quickly, easily and safely,” said Jean-Charles Zaia, General Manager, Public Transit at Conduent Transportation. “Fil Bleu was up and running very quickly due to Conduent’s technologically advanced and easily installed system. Once a passenger has the app, they can leverage any transportation network in France that uses the growing Seamless ® Transportation System.”

These solutions, spanning road usage charging, parking and curbside management, and advanced transit and public safety systems, enable streamlined and personalized services for citizens and travelers who use them.

Adelaide Transit Authority Selects Conduent Transportation to Pilot New Contactless Open Payment System on Trams

GUILHERAND-GRANGES, FRANCE and FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Nov. 04, 2020 — Conduent Transportation, a unit of business process services and solutions company Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), today announced that it has installed a new contactless open payment system on the Adelaide tram system overseen by the South Australian Public Transport Authority (SAPTA). This six-month pilot program started on September 20th. Adelaide travelers can now use their Visa, MasterCard and NFC-enabled smart devices to pay for their fares on the 24 trams throughout the city. Adelaide is the fifth largest city in Australia, with a population of approximately 1.4 million.

Leveraging Conduent’s ATLAS ® system, which is already used by the Adelaide transit authority, the company has deployed its ATLAS Open Media Pay As You Go module and validators on the vehicles for onboard fare payment. During the pilot, Conduent’s new system will operate alongside the metroCARD validating system on Adelaide trams.

ATLAS Open Media modernizes a transit network’s fare collection by enabling a variety of transit ticketing payment methods, including EMV contactless cards, digital bank wallets, NFC and QR code. Given recent health concerns associated with COVID-19, contactless fare collection systems have become a beneficial tool that transportation operators can use to help maintain a safe environment for their passengers.

“Enabling contactless payment on trams is the first phase of modernizing fare collection across the Adelaide Metro network,” said Anne Alford, Executive Director, SAPTA. “By leveraging this technology, Adelaide will have easier, faster, safer and more accessible public transport. Implementation of the pilot was seamless with Adelaide Metro able to utilize its existing partnership with Conduent Transportation to employ its expertise and technology.”

This is the latest collaboration between Conduent Transportation and the South Australian Government. For more than 25 years, Conduent has delivered ticketing and fleet management systems, including terminals and on-site support.

“We’re excited to work with the South Australian Government on the modernization of their ticketing system,” said Jean-Charles Zaia, General Manager, Public Transit at Conduent Transportation. “We are seeing transit networks all around the world employing technology to advance and improve their fare collection while enhancing the transit experience for the users.”

Conduent fare collection systems are in use in more than 400 public transit networks of all sizes around the world. Most recently, ATLAS Ops has been implemented by transit authorities including Flanders (Belgium) and will soon be deployed in New Jersey (USA) and Lyon (France) .
