Berlin gets smart transport system

By Ian Jones

Published: 12 March 1999 12:12 GMT

BVG - Berlin's public transport authority - is set to introduce a smartcard system designed to eradicate paper tickets.

Travellers will be able to purchase credit units for the smartcards and then swipe them through readers on buses, underground trains, trams and ferries in the Berlin region. Credits will be subtracted from the cards depending on the time and distance travelled.

Trials of the Motorola-built system will begin this year and a full roll out is expected by 2002.
