Brighton Pilot Brings Concession Travel into Contactless Ecosystem

A ticketing pilot in Brighton is demonstrating how prepaid and concessionary transit passes can be integrated into contactless “tap-and-go” systems using digital wallets. Passengers on buses operated by Go-Ahead Group’s Brighton & Hove network can now purchase prepaid passes directly in Google Wallet and use them by tapping their phone when boarding. The initiative, developed in partnership with Littlepay and Google, links travel rights directly to the passenger’s wallet.
