Tiivistelmä
The aim of this thesis was to highlight the inefficiency of the current paper ticketing system that is being used in the public transport system of Lagos state and how it can be modernized to make use of modern electronic fare collection systems and their benefits.
For a population of over 20 million and counting, which is about four times the population of Finland, it is quite strange that the state still uses a fare collection system that is inefficient, has huge fund leakages and it is not conducive for the citizens of the city. The paper ticketing system also contributes to environment pollution and degradation.
The thesis explores the technology behind Radio Frequency Identification, the different applications of the technology, the technology drawbacks, what to consider before implementing a RFID system, and how it can be adapted to public transportation and the benefits of the technology.
Lastly, the thesis highlights the critical infrastructures that is needs to be implemented before a successful
Deployment of electronic fare collection system. It also discusses the need to implement security at the planning phase, the potential benefits for the passengers, drivers, stakeholder and the environment. Implementing this technology will further position the state as a technological city and thereby attracting more foreign investments.
