Electronic Ticketing Machines (ETM) Powering Digital Bus Ticketing in India

Public transport ticketing must work reliably in all conditions, including peak hours and low-connectivity zones. Chartr's Electronic Ticketing Machine (ETM) solution is designed specifically for large-scale public transport operations in India.

The ETM platform supports multiple fare collection modes from a single device. Conductors can issue tickets using cash, UPI, cards, or smart cards. The same system also supports mobile app tickets, tap-in tap-out journeys, and conductor-less ticketing based on city requirements.

A key strength of Chartr's ETM system is its offline-first architecture. Ticketing continues uninterrupted even when network connectivity is unavailable. All transactions are securely stored on the device and automatically synced once connectivity is restored, ensuring zero revenue loss.

Today, Chartr's ETM solution powers digital fare collection across city buses, BRTS corridors, and regional transport networks, processing lakhs of tickets daily while providing transport authorities real-time visibility into collections and ridership.
