+++++++++++++++++++++++++
ERG Group is pleased to announce the successful rollout of its
integrated smart card ticketing system on Singapore's public
transport network.
The smart card ticketing system commenced public operations on 13
April 2002, following a successful three-month trial, and is already
processing more than 1 milliontransactions a day (compared with
25,000 a day during the trial period). The system has been
enthusiastically adopted by Singaporeans, with around 30,000 new
cards being issued daily. It is expected that the system will process
around 4 million transactions each day by end of 2002.
In April 1999, the Land Transport Authority of Singapore (LTA)
awarded ERG the contract to design and develop an integrated smart
card ticketing system on five public transport operators. The system,
which involves 22,000 readers and the issue of 5 million smart cards,
is one of the largest integrated smart card based transit systems in
the world.
The LTA has also awarded ERG a three-year maintenance contract worth
S$15 million (A$16 million) to support the new system.
Mr Silvester Prakasam, General Manager of EZ-Link, stated: "The
Singapore system represents the most advanced and cost-effective
ticketing technology which will benefit both our operators and
patrons. Now that we have established a solid base, we intend to
expand the system in the coming years beyond public transport."
ERG's Managing Director Asia Pacific, Mr Rob Noble, said "The
successful rollout of Singapore means that ERG's MASS technology now
processes transit transactions in two of Asia's major cities -
Singapore and Hong Kong. By the end of this year, these sites will be
processing transactions at the rate of more than 4 billion annually.
We are proud to say thatthe Singaporean system is one of the most
technologically advanced ticketing systems in the world."
