KL-Singapore High Speed Rail project seeking ticketing, fare collection expertise

COMPANIES specialising in ticketing and fare collection (TFC) are invited to share the latest ticketing technology and developments for the purposes of developing a robust TFC approach for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project.

In a joint statement on Tuesday, MyHSR Corporation Sdn Bhd (MyHSR Corp) of Malaysia and the Land Transport Authority of Singapore (LTA) invited companies with expertise in TFC to attend the discussions to be held in Kuala Lumpur on Oct 9-10, 2017.
