Denmark’s national ticketing agency, Rejsekort & Rejseplan, or RKRP, last week announced that it and the country’s major transport operators had hired Belgium-based vendor Prodata Mobility to supply around 9,000 new validators, as the agency seeks to replace its aging closed-loop card.
RKRP chose Prodata from among five other vendors, as Mobility Payments reported last week. But Mobility Payments has learned there were actually eight bidders for the eight-year contract, worth a minimum of €16.8 million (US$17.3 million) and a maximum of €32.6 million.
