ALITAPTAP: AN NFC-BASED PERSONAL TRANSIT WALLET

With this, we propose aliTapTap, a contactless payment system using near-field communication for transportation transaction purposes. aliTapTap is a contactless payment system that can be used for public transportation in the Philippines. It is powered by NFC technology and can be loaded with cash or credit at various terminals or kiosks. The system makes use of a reloadable contactless smart card. We see aliTapTap being available as a smart card and mobile application for NFC-enabled smartphones. By just tapping their cards or NFC-equipped smartphones, commuters can now pay their transportation fares without the hassles of traditional payment methods. aliTapTap users can reload their respective accounts not only via card but also via e-cash through their smartphones, allowing for more flexible and seamless transactions. Using aliTapTap, public transportation commuters or the public transportation system in general, are benefited in the following ways: it reduces the need for cash, coins, or physical tickets, which can be lost, stolen, or damaged; it speeds up the boarding process and reduces congestion at the gates or fareboxes, improving the efficiency and reliability of transit services; it enables contactless and hygienic transactions, reducing the risk of spreading germs or viruses; it offers more flexibility and convenience for travelers, who can use their preferred device or payment method, and easily switch between different modes of transport; it provides more information and transparency for travelers, who can check their balance, transaction history, or travel history on their device or online; and it supports smart city initiatives and environmental sustainability, by reducing paper waste and enabling data collection and analysis for better planning and management of transit systems.
