Bus Payment Service

In Belo Horizonte, the bus system runs with a RFID payment method. Passengers tap their card into the reader and their fare is charged. Many other logistic features are also performed in this system, all done by operators throughout the day. All feedback was done in a monochrome LED display with only two lines of text.

TACOM, the company responsible to develop and implement the equipment, has updated the system using now a seven inch touchscreen display, improving the user’s interaction as well as the operator’s.

We were then called to develop a new user interface, as well as the operational system. I have created this clean and user friendly interface, so users can follow what is happening at any time.
