Mobility subsidiary eos.uptrade has partnered with Stuttgarter Straßenbahnen AG

for passengers and operators.
“Our ‘Best Price’ offer is now available to a wide range of customers, allowing them to use our offer even more spontaneously and flexibly. We are very pleased to be bringing this innovative ticketing approach to life,” stated Mario Laube, Commercial Director at SSB.
“This is another example of how smart and innovative applications can intelligently integrate and coordinate transportation to create a more seamless and convenient travel experience,” said Andre Rodenbeck, CEO Rail Infrastructure at Siemens Mobility. “Having the ability to always get the best price from the full spectrum of mobility options significantly improves the passenger experience and enhances overall quality of life.”
“Corona has significantly accelerated changes in our working environments and thus also in our mobility behavior. This increases the need for flexible and attractive public transport services,” said Mathias Hüske, Managing Director of eos.uptrade. “SSB has opted for a seamlessly integrated solution that creates lasting trust among passengers.”
The new ticket can be booked
via the trip planner. Once the user has decided on a connection, the price
overview shows the ‘Best Price Ticket’ option. If this option is selected, the
underlying technology will do the rest. Following all journeys made within a
month, the system automatically charges the lowest price. From single tickets
to monthly tickets, passengers no longer need to worry about which ticket will
be the right. The trip overview also shows the savings compared to a ticket
without ‘Best Price’ optimization.
The integration of the new
ticket into SSB’s existing mobile store means there is no need for passengers to
register again, all relevant data is stored in the app and the payment method
specified by the customer is used for monthly billing.
The XiXo solutions from
eos.uptrade are all based on best price optimization and can be flexibly
expanded depending on the requirements of the transport company. With
XiXo.easy, passengers do not even have to select a route in advance, they can
conveniently log in via the app when boarding and will be reminded to check out
at the end of their journey. A Check-in/Be-out system (CiBo) automatically
detects when the passenger leaves the vehicle. The comprehensive Be-in/Be-out
solution (BiBo) utilizes supporting hardware in the vehicles to fully automate
and record the route traveled.
Together, Siemens Mobility, Hacon, eos.uptrade, Bytemark and Padam Mobility provide a unique and holistic ecosystem of digital services and solutions: From trip planning across passenger communication to mobile ticketing, payment, and comprehensive Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions, fleet management to train planning systems and mobility data analytics.
