The purpose of integrated ticketing is to promote public transport use by simplifying transitions between different modes and improving service efficiency.
[2] While electronic methods are prevalent, certain public transport systems still utilize paper tickets, which permit transfers within a specified area or, in some cases, allow unlimited travel during designated periods, as seen with the Transperth FamilyRider in Australia.
Countries such as Switzerland have established national integrated ticketing systems that extend beyond transportation to include access to leisure destinations, museums, and other services.
[3] Other nations, such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Sweden, have implemented similar systems within major cities and metropolitan areas.
The successful implementation of integrated ticketing requires extensive coordination and cooperation among public transport providers and technology suppliers.
