Aurionpro and Google partner to bring wallet solutions for public transportation

MUMBAI/SINGAPORE – Thursday, 16th May, 2024:

Aurionpro Transit, a subsidiary of Aurionpro, facilitates the integration of its app-based and ORS ticketing solution with Google Wallet. Passengers can now:

• Plan and ride public transport seamlessly. After purchasing a ticket, the commuter can store it in Google Wallet as a co-branded card or or QR code pass/ticket. Within the app, a customer can plan the journey or select one using Google Maps, and directly purchase the ticket for interoperable, hassle-free travel.
• Have a single, organized destination for fast, secure access to boarding passes, loyalty cards, event tickets, and public transport tickets, making them easily accessible when you need them.
• Store and review tickets using Google Wallet. If the customer has enabled smart personalization settings in Gmail, some tickets and passes received via email – for example, bus and train tickets – will automatically appear in their Google Wallet for a select set of partners.

Sanjay Bali, CEO Aurionpro Transit adds: “Being able to communicate in real-time with passengers as part of the pay-as-you-go (PAYG) experience is a huge leap forward. This project will benefit riders, giving them visibility into the savings made through PAYG. Moreover, it offers operators a pathway to develop relationships with PAYG passengers and create a real sense of membership and valued loyalty. Using Google Pay for transit payments ensures a quick, seamless, and secure process. We aim to help people feel more in control of their spending and encourage use of sustainable transport.”
