What is Account-Based Ticketing?

Account-Based Ticketing (ABT) moves ticketing and fare information from the physical ticket or payment media into a central account or back-office environment. This allows passengers to use supported payment or identification methods while operators manage fares, transactions and passenger information through connected systems.
