CityGo USB is a versatile device designed for public transport. Its compact (5cm diameter) and its soft shape make it easy to grab in a bag or pocket and wave in front of a validator. It features a mini-card that contains the contactless transport application and bears the traveller’s name and picture. As a result, CityGo USB can be easily checked by controllers, as they would do with a standard transport card. Deployment has started a few days ago with 20,000 units. Pupils taking the Transco lines to school will receive a device free of charge, while other travellers will have the possibility to order them on the Transco e-store developed by Vix Technology. CityGo USB’s other key innovation is its rotating casing that unveils a USB plug. The CityGo USB can thus be connected to a computer to access the transport operators’ website and perform online top-up. Thanks to its microSD slot, CityGo USB also becomes a mass storage device carrying personal files. With these unique features, CityGo USB brings a lot of benefits. For transport operators, this innovative ticket dematerialisation solution increases customers’ satisfaction, decreases operating expenses and generates new sources of revenue through new services available. For travellers, CityGo USB becomes an everyday “companion” device. www.oberthur.com
