Pilots of the ETC
Within the ETC project we have defined the following pilots:
Park & Ride Pilot in Luxembourg
The Park & Ride Pilot in Luxembourg was set up to demonstrate the multi-functionality possibilities of account-based ticketing. The existing system, based upon the German VDV-KA standard, was used to travel in Luxembourg and the ETC system was used for parking and earning loyalty points (stamps) for parking.
mKaart
The existing mKaart (travel card) in Luxembourg was used.
Next to the current transport application (VDV-KA) the ETC side token was loaded. Both are loaded onto the NFC-chip of the mKaart.
