To obtain a MOBIB pass, the doorway to flexibility and
freedom in public transportation in Belgium (metro,
tramways, trains and buses), commuters can visit the sales
counters manned by the operators STIB & SNCB, and receive
their personalized MOBIB cards that are issued instantly,
thanks to the Evolis
Zenius Expert card printer.
With Zenius Expert, the MOBIB pass is personalized within
seconds . Zenius prints the picture and personal data of
the card holder on the MOBIB card surface and the
integrated Crazy Writer Calypso module encodes all data
related to the subscribed travel plan onto the
contactless chip. This virtual embedded subscription
can be renewed and updated very simply and in a jiffy, via
the Web, or at counters and vending machines available
throughout the various stations. This contactless
technology is compliant with Calypso2, a standard specific
to public transportation systems, thus granting all public
transport operators with a proven level of security and
interoperability.
To reliably deploy this new and extensive solution for the
benefit and convenience of commuters, the transport
operators have collaborated with several systems
integrators to design cutting-edge IT solutions, along with
GMP Belgium Bibliofilm, Evolis' distributor for Belgium and
Luxembourg.
"With this new infrastructure, the goals for traffic
optimization, time saving and comfort have all been
achieved" , said Henry Everard, President, GMP Belgium
Bibliofilm."MOBIB allows for additional flexibility when
commuting, and the Zenius printer is key in adding comfort
to the user's experience. We really appreciated Pebble, the
previous generation of Evolis printers, and we can only
foresee an even greater achievement from Zenius. We like
its compact footprint and the way it easily finds its place
on any sales counter, to provide fast personalization. The
card printer is also easy to operate, thanks to its
card-feeding module conveniently located at the printer's
front. All these benefits are crucial to successful
operations".
