Smart Transit provides services to both private and public organisations. The range of services offered by Smart Transit will be regionally different. In some countries with existing AFC systems, Smart Transit will provide a considerably wider spectrum of services (such as operating, maintenance, and renewal, including turn-key solutions) than in other countries, where the AFC-Market is still emerging.
Smart Transit offers a range of assistance and consulting services which are as comprehensive as possible with regard to the demand of the clients. The term ”comprehensive” refers to two dimensions:
- Coverage of all stages of a project, from concepts, studies, and proposals via system design and specification to contract and procurement management, system integration, and implementation.
- Coverage of all levels of consultancy: Top-level (addressing the client’s top management), medium-level (e.g. project supervision), and assistance in system integration or system redesign.
Smart Transit supports public transport companies in various other areas.
