Transit ID Cards

Public transportation systems have used paper tickets and passes for their buses, subways, trams and trolleys. Now, with mass transit system experiencing more and more riders, reusable passes are becoming more and more popular, and more and more efficient.

Transit Passes

IDSuperShop knows that any cities use prepaid bus and subway passes that utilize magnetic stripe technology. The rider swipes the card every time the bus is boarded; the fare is deducted from the prepaid balance. Some transit cards also have a time bound function permitting unlimited usage over a given amount of time.  Unfortunately, these cards are prone to unauthorized reproduction thereby making security features such as lamination and holographics a valuable addition.


Proximity Technology and Mass Transit

Transit ID CardsAnother option that IDSuperShop recommends is proximity cards a perfect fit for mass transit systems, for their ease of use and convenience. They reduce the amount of tickets and waste a passenger produces, proximity technology also makes the transportation process more efficient. The rider would pass their proximity ID card or RFID card near a reader, which would deduct the appropriate amount, identify the passenger and permit entrance.

Riders purchase a card either from a public transportation office. The card may be personalized with a photo ID and personal information about the rider, or may be a generic card design. The transit passengers would have a certain amount of money stored on the card to pay for fares over a period of time.

These cards can be produced with ease on an advanced id system sold to you by the knowledgeable staff at IDSuperShop. We have the support and stock to set up your ideal transit system.
