Introduction
1.1
Background
In summer 2006, MasterCard commenced a pilot, the purpose of which was to test the
feasibility of utilizing the
feasibility of utilizing the
PayPass
architecture to allow customer access to the underground
transit system at select sites throughout the New York metropolitan area. MasterCard co-
operated with Citibank and New York Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) to trial this new
concept for which a new architecture and infrastructure was built. The initial New York MTA
Subway pilot solution performed transactions offline.

Subway pilot solution performed transactions offline.
Two further major opportunities were subsequently identified.
The first opportunity is to support a turnstile solution that will support an online, IP
based mode of operation and will support the MTA existing pilot. The pilot will be
extended into the bus environment within Manhattan. This will involve deploying
contactless readers on buses, where the requirement is for an online transaction to
be performed using wireless / mobile technology.

The second opportunity is to support a pilot with the Port Authority of New York and
New Jersey, who wish to deploy a solution in the PATH rapid transit system (railway)
CAM and on the New Jersey Transit (NJT) buses.

The phase 2 of the pilot requires the solution to be modified to support an online, IP based
mode of operation, in both the subway using a “wired” connection and on buses, using
“wireless”.
