The new system will allow the use of paper tickets, magnetic stripe tickets and smart cards, greatly increasing passenger convenience. It will be installed on 350 buses serving the interurban area. Our systems are already providing easier journeys for commuters in the City of Bordeaux, where ERG recently completed the transport smart card system, said David D Stone, ERGs Global Head of Business Development. We now look forward to supplying the citizens of Gironde with our state-of-the-art technology. Gironde joins a growing list of cities around the world that have selected ERG smart card technology and this further strengthens ERGs presence in France and the rest of Europe, continued Mr Stone. This is the fourth French contract awarded to ERG for smart card fare collection equipment within the past twelve months. In addition to the Conseil General De La Gironde, recent tenders awarded include Department of Bas-Rhin Strasbourg, Clermont-Ferrand and La Roche/Yon.
