Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2328309A] A travel pass system wherein travel passes are encoded with a geographical identity (GID) for at least the beginning and end of the journey, includes a ticket machine on board the transport vehicle containing a CPU, and an operator interchangeable module containing a look-up table of valid boarding/destination and intermediate (via) points, enabling travel passes to be validated by comparison of the GIDs encoded in the pass with the GIDs stored in the look-up table. The GIDs may be by postcode, national grid (NG ID) or ground positioning satellite (GPS ID). Pass invalid information may be displayed in either lenient or strict modes whereby in strict mode the ticket machine is arranged to reject the pass outright and the passenger is asked to leave the vehicle or in lenient mode the vehicle operative is alerted and the ticket machine displays text information. A printed ticket may also be issued.
