Penrillian, a mobile software developer, has created a new app for users to plan, purchase, download and top up tickets and passes for public transport to a smartcard via their mobile device.

The app, called Voyager, aims to simplify ticket purchasing for public transportation. Penrillian’s software is used by millions of people every day, from ticket apps to contactless payment solutions and wireless dongles developed for clients including Mastercard, EE, TUI and Vodafone.

This latest technology development is intended to enable public transport operators to offer a customer the facility to buy tickets and passes, then instantly top up their ITSO (the national standard for smart ticketing) travel smartcard using their mobile’s in-built Near Field Communication capabilities.
