A Note from TransMach...

As a leading ticketing solution provider TransMach Systems offers cost-effective solutions, from the TM500 on-bus and TM920 handheld; they both operate on latest Android platform and support ITSO, cEMV payments, QR code validation, schedule adherence and more.

TransMach has added in a new feature which allows operators to share the AVL data in real time via a link along with the login details which can be passed on to the DfT portal (Bus Open Data Service). This enables small to medium size operators to comply with the BODS requirements at an affordable cost. The BODS feature will also support Timetables and Fares Data service by Q2 2021.
