The solution has been developed by the French company Airweb, specialized in digital solutions for paying for public transport
The citizens of Menorca, in addition to tourists who visit the island, will have a mobile application to pay, with a credit card, for trips made with the island’s public transport service. The agreement, promoted by the Department of Mobility of the Consell Insular de Menorca, between the French company Airweb and the three concessionary companies of the service, will allow coverage of all transport lines on the island under a single application. The application is expected to be available from January, with a view to making it fully operational during the next summer season of 2023. Initially, the solution will allow you to pay for all single tickets with different prices depending on the origin and destination of the journey with credit card, in this way this method of payment will be facilitated, which until now was not possible. However, the Menorca Island Council is already assessing the future incorporation of other transport tickets, such as multi-trip vouchers and passes with different frequency. It will be available in Spanish, Catalan and English, and adapted to the Spanish payment system, in addition to having the technology developed by airweb, a leading company in the digitization of transport tickets. Xavier Debbasch, President of Airweb states: “We are very satisfied with the confidence of the Menorca Island Council and the transport companies so that Menorca becomes the first Spanish location to have an m-Ticket system developed by airweb. Our background in France and other countries will allow the island to have a solution that simplifies access to public transport for residents and tourists. This will generate a very favorable impact on the preservation of the island.” Damià Moll, Insular Director of Transport of the Menorca Island Council declares: “With the implementation of the application proposed by Airweb, we respond to a historical demand of operators and users of public transport on our island, to be able to pay for tickets by credit card. The continuous will to improve the service and the need to adapt to new needs requires constant contact with companies that allow the use of technological advances in favor of improvements towards users”.
