Bus Ticketing System
Automated fare collection is the number one way to speed onboarding time, decrease costs, increase revenue, and provide higher rider satisfaction. Choosing your bus ticketing system is a crucial strategic decision, and Vix is ready to help.
With over 200 Vix systems operating throughout the world and over 500,000 devices currently in use, we leverage our 35 years of experience in public transit to provide exceptional experiences for both riders and transit agencies.
Customize Your Bus Ticketing System
Bus ticketing is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Some buses need only onboard ticket purchasing while others need station terminals as well. Further, bus ticketing systems can offer passes or demographic discounts. Thus, the choice of hardware and software combinations requires careful consideration.
The Assure Compact is small enough to be pole-mounted on the bus and allows onboard purchases. The Assure Adept ups the ante with a user-friendly touchscreen. Vix assists each agency with choosing the right onboard bus ticketing system.
Offboard, the Assure Rugged adds weather-proof hardware for outside use, enhancing bus ticketing capabilities. Additionally, the CR6000 allow for ticket vending machines, gate-mounted hardware, manned ticketing registers, and other options in conjunction with a driver’s console for validation. This bus ticketing system is a more traditional system with some touches of automation that eases riders into a more efficient ticketing system.
Powerful Bus Ticketing Software
Riders want paying for their travel to be easy, convenient and flexible. That requires a bus ticketing solution that’s fast, that can offer different ways to pay, and can offer a range of fares. For example, some bus operators offer passes or demographic discounts to attract more riders.
Vix Pulse is an advanced automated fare collection platform that delivers outstanding choice, speed and convenience to passengers. With flexible fare product configuration, including fare capping, you can offer the best fares to your riders and let them pay however they prefer.
Security is always a top priority when developing our software, and we work with the world’s most trusted payment processors to keep every transaction secure.
Rider Control
Today’s bus riders want convenience and minimal interaction to complete transactions. With smartphones now ubiquitous, the ability to pay for and validate tickets from each rider’s own device is an easier and faster method of transaction that reduces dwelling time and keeps buses on time.
Riders can access their own accounts and update their information, payment methods, passes, and more—all without the assistance of agency employees. This frees up staff to attend to other important tasks and can reduce overall labor costs for the transit agency without sacrificing the quality of its services.
Vix enables contactless payments, whether via mobile wallet or bank card, through Vix Whisper.

Data is king. Vix Technology collects and collates data that other systems cannot. Our passenger-counting system, driver safety monitoring, and fraud detection technology provides invaluable data that agencies can use to provide more efficient and cost-effective services.
