Agencies will hold discussions next month at Kuala Lumpur with the invited companies that specialise in TFC to share the latest ticketing technology and developments and devise a robust TFC approach for the project.
A passenger-friendly ticketing system equipped with the latest technology is planned to be implemented to enable seamless travelling throughout the cross-border HSR system that has separate operators for international and domestic services.
The inputs from the discussion will be considered while structuring the ticketing and fare collection ecosystem by the authorities.
Last year, the governments of Malaysia and Singapore signed a bilateral agreement to develop the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore HSR to improve travel between the two countries.
