"Important now, given the level of investment we are seeing in public transport globally, is the development of ticketing solutions that allow seamless travel across different modes of transport (buses, trains, ferries)... This simplifies the process for passengers and encourages more frequent use by removing friction from the rider experience." With ridership numbers on public transport fluctuating across regions and geographies, our public transport lead Andy Taylor sheds some light on what must be done to get people back riding again. 🖊 #urbanmobility #publictransport #sustainability

The UN-led Digital Public Infrastructure Universal Safeguards Initiative is an opportunity for everyone, including the public and private sectors and civil society, to share lessons learned, create guidance, and shape the world's collective digital future. Earlier this month, 65+ business and thought leaders from five continents joined us for a workshop to discuss what optimal collaboration models can support long-term private sector participation in DPI ecosystems and strengthen consumer protection outcomes with safeguards. Stay tuned for the final Universal Safeguards report from the team at Office of the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology and UNDP in September this UNGA.

Powering economies and empowering people in Costa Rica and beyond! 🚌
We’ve worked with our partners to bring contactless transit payments to London, New York, Sydney and many other places. These open loop systems let you use your debit or credit card to pay for a ride – no need to search for cash or wait in line to reload a transit card. Just tap and go. Next stop? San Jose, Costa Rica, where we’re bringing contactless to buses – on the way to expanding to over 2,500 buses running in the capital’s Metropolitan Area by next year. These open loop systems speed up transit by shortening lines, give commuters and travelers more convenience, and encourage businesses near stops to offer digital payments. All that supports growing the digital economy and smart urban planning. Let’s ride! 🚌
