STAGECOACH passengers in Hampshire and West Sussex can now travel using the ITSO - compliant
StagecoachSmart card. Since February, the scheme is now live on more than 365 Stagecoach buses across the region, allowing customers the chance to pay for their travel through hassle - free automatic payments after registering online.
Stagecoach says the launch of the smartcard technology in the area is another demonstration of its commitment to making travel more convenient for passengers. Andrew Dyer, Managing Director of Stagecoach South, said: “We know we have a responsibility to our customers to continue introducing new technology and new ideas to improve their
travel experience.
“We believe the launch of StagecoachSmart will encourage even more people to try our greener, smarter bus services and the scheme will rocket in popularity. As more passengers use the smart card we will see less boarding time at bus stops as the journey is prepaid.”
“The launch of StagecoachSmart in the South offers passengers the chance to sign up to the company’s new
Megarider Xtra ticket which allows monthly payments to be debited from the customer’s bank account on an agreed date
each month, meaning they no longer have to renew their ticket manually. The customer’s ticket is stored on their StagecoachSmart travel card and simply remains valid for travel until the payment is cancelled.”
