Recognition for leader in payment means and ticketing innovation
Transport consultants MVA Consultancy have promoted
Jeremy Meal to senior director in their UK practice. Congratulating
him, CEO Nigel Ash said: “We have reflected the admiration of our clients
for Jeremy’s contribution to working out when and how to effectively
apply the newer technologies, such as Smartcards to payment means,
in the UK market for bus and rail services.”
Jeremy worked on the ground breaking card service
introduced in Singapore in the 1990s, which was the world’s
first large scale application of a multi-modal stored value ticketing
system. This provided the integrated ticketing which underpinned
the rationalisation and commercial improvement of the bus network
following opening of the MRT underground railway. Since then he
has also contributed some of the key charging concepts and operating
assumptions behind the Melbourne ticketing system upgrade to Miki
now underway.
In the UK, Jeremy has worked closely with the many stakeholders
developing the ITSO specification for public transport smartcard
ticketing in the UK which has been adopted for both concessionary
travel and the basis of new rail franchise commitments. He has built
up a multi-disciplinary team within MVA to service its growing number
of clients in this field. Through the market force and technology
complexities, Jeremy and his team has been able to frame the issues
in ways accessible to all, and be respected for objective and honest
advice.
