The Land Transport Authority called a tender earlier this month, inviting companies to design and trial a system that will allow commuters, especially those with disabilities and the elderly, to pass through fare gates or board buses without tapping fare cards.
An LTA spokesman told The Straits Times that the trial is part of ongoing efforts to"foster an inclusive public transport system". The LTA had conducted a similar trial of a hands-free ticketing system at four MRT stations in collaboration with ST Engineering, from June to November 2018.The LTA did not address queries about the outcome of the 2018 trials, and why it is looking to test a hands-free payment system again.Based on tender documents, companies can devise a piece of wearable RFID technology or smartphones with Bluetooth technology as alternatives to fare cards with RFID chips.
