The short answer

What is a digital train and bus pass?

A digital train or bus pass is a ticket, periodical pass or concession card saved to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet instead of a paper ticket or a separate app. It carries a barcode that scans at gates and on board without a signal, shows on the lock screen before travel, and updates itself when services change. Litecard lets Australian rail, tram, bus and coach operators issue and update these passes from their existing ticketing systems.

Common questions

Does it work with our ticketing system?

Yes. Tickets and passes are issued from your ticketing data through the Litecard API and webhooks.

Can gates and authorised officers scan it?

Yes. Each pass carries a unique barcode your gates and handheld readers can scan, with no signal needed. The barcode format is confirmed during scoping.
