INNOVATIVE CREDIT CARD MICROPAYMENTS FOR THE KOREAN
METROPOLITAN UNIFIED FARE SYSTEM
1.How can credit cards be processed as quickly as stored-value cards at the ticket gate? In order to pay transportation fares quickly, credit card payments for subways and buses must be processed without the full authorization procedure.. After that,The credit-based transportation card has revolutionized the recharge service process. In the early stage, both MRT cards and bus cards had to be recharged at manned booth. Then the transportation card, credit or stored-value, is designed to memorize the departure time from the MRT station that save time. To sum up To process credit cards as quickly as stored-value cards at the ticket gate, there are a few factors to consider. Firstly, the speed of processing depends on the technology used for card transactions.Additionally, optimizing the payment infrastructure and network connectivity can help reduce processing time. 2. What is the major benefit of owning a credit-based transportation card for commuters? -Quick payment. -Processing does not require authorization procedures. -Easily move by route and time. -Integrates many utilities. 3.What is the major benefit of credit-based transportation cards to the city government? The major benefit of credit-based transportation cards to the city government is the ability to collect data about commuters, which can be used to dispatch additional buses depending on passenger load by route and time. Additionally, the control center can analyze mobile phone usage in certain areas at midnight to estimate potential commuters and dynamically determine routes for midnight buses. The adoption of a Metropolitan Unified Fare System in 2009 has also led to nationwide standardization and integration of transportation cards using smart cards, allowing for easier payment services for customers. Overall, credit-based transportation cards have revolutionized the recharge service process and restructured the city's transportation system by aligning and coordinating bus and subway routes. 4.How can the Metropolitan Unified Fare System enable the restructuring of public transportation infrastructure? The habit of people living and working in Seoul ,Korea depend on public transport for their mobility and therefore public transport is a key element of Seoul transport association. However, as identified there are a number of inherent challenges and constraints with the current system that will be exacerbated as the city grows and the demand for travel increases. These principally relate to poor and inefficient network design and capacity, inadequate service levels and quality, particularly poor reliability, inadequate public transport infrastructure provision, fare level and structure issues, and inherent constraints with the institutional, regulatory, and organisational aspects of the public transport sector. Through the transport association process there is a great opportunity to plan an effective and sustainable public transport system looking towards 2035, through integrated land use planning and synergies with other sectors including traffic management and highways.
