The BusConnects programme is comprised of a number of elements, one of which is the Next Generation Ticketing project. The Next Generation Ticketing project seeks to incorporate the latest developments in account-based ticketing technology and allow customers to pay in a number of convenient ways, including through the use of debit/credit cards, mobile phones and wearable technology. While these alternative payment options will be facilitated and can help to speed up journey times, the removal of cash payments on buses does not form part of the project.
