Denmark transport-ticketing agency Rejsekort & Rejseplan today announced it had hired a vendor to supply around 9,000 validators to accept a new closed-loop card the agency plans to roll out, with open-loop payments likely coming later.
The validators are for riders who cannot or will not use nationwide mobile-ticketing apps that Rejsekort & Rejseplan and major Danish public transport operators have launched–most notably a pay-as-you-go app that uses GPS technology.
