Our partners and liaisons
To build an open and integrated platform for the planning, retailing, distribution and ticketing - covering all mobility services we work together with strong partners.
STA & EPF: Memorandum of Understanding
We are pleased to announce that we have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a prominent European non-profit organisation in the field of public transport: the European Passengers' Federation (EPF).
This is a first for us, as our previous partnerships have focused solely on technology and not on passenger rights. We are very excited about the future collaboration and are pleased that EPF is also enthusiastic about this agreement and looks forward to improving the passenger experience and promoting smart ticketing solutions across Europe.
"EPF is excited to reach this agreement with STA and uniting our shared vision of enhancing passenger experiences and advancing smart ticketing solutions across Europe. As EPF continues to promote passengers' interests and advocate for a seamless multimodal travel experience, our partnership with STA, a major player in promoting interoperable smart ticketing systems, marks a significant step towards realizing our mutual goals.”
