Beyond The Fare: Why Account-Based Ticketing Is A Leadership Move
Account-Based Ticketing is more than fare tech. It's a leadership tool to unify systems, modernize ... More policy, and build rider trust across transit networks. Nathalie Ricci, executive consultant and founder of PulseCorp, has contributed to this story. I've spent over two decades building and leading intelligent transportation projects across North America and Europe, including as CEO of INIT Inc. in Canada. I had the privilege of spearheading the STM's winning bid for the iBUS project in Montreal in 2012, and I played a hands-on role in the UK's first implementation of Account-Based Ticketing (ABT) for Trent Barton. This isn't theoretical for me. I've seen firsthand how fare systems can either enable smart governance or block progress. That's why I believe ABT is more than another IT upgrade. It's a strategic lever for a modern transit leadership move. Traditional fare systems were built in an era when everything was hard-coded into physical cards. The logic was offline, rigid, and lived on a chip, locked inside plastic. These systems are robust and built for durability, but they have made innovation slow and expensive. What we're seeing now with ABT is a paradigm shift. Instead of encoding fares on a smart card, we assign them to a cloud-based account. The card, or mobile device, bank card, or QR code, becomes just an identifier. The fare logic, policy engine, and data live in the back office. Figure 1: ABT system architecture This shift opens up what I call "real-time flexibility with long-term control." Transit leaders can now pilot fare policy without reissuing cards. Riders can tap any mode, any time, and always get the best fare. And agencies gain live dashboards, cross-operator visibility, and tools to shape behavior. In my experience, ABT enables three core capabilities that transit leaders truly need now: It's not just about tapping faster. It's about governing smarter with the tools to shape ride behavior, plan equitably, and build trust through transparency. Let's be honest: many cities — including mine — are still operating with legacy card-centric systems. The OPUS card widely used across the Greater Montreal area and its surrounding regions, for example, remains fully dependent on stored-value logic. It works, but it can't scale with what riders expect. The system can't adjust fares in real time. It can't unify across services. It can't evolve without major physical upgrades. And here's the leadership challenge: if fare systems can't keep up, mobility strategies fall behind. We can't build a flexible, sustainable, rider-first transit future on foundations that were never designed for it. Account-Based Ticketing is no longer futuristic. Cities like London and Portland have been running ABT systems for years. Canada's most advanced ABT initiative, the Arc card, is already active in Alberta, proving what's possible with a smart, scalable platform. Meanwhile, in regions like Quebec, we remain tied to card-based logic that limits our options and ambitions. If we want our cities to be equitable, sustainable, and competitive, we need to treat fare systems as more than operational tools. And for that, ABT has to be part of the roadmap. For leaders, this is about more than digitizing fare collection. It's about using fare systems as a lever for real mobility governance.

Canadian drug trafficker on "Most Wanted List" sentenced in Detroit federal court
A Canadian man who led an eight-year drug trafficking conspiracy in the United States was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan. Khaophone Sychantha, 43, was convicted of one count of conspiring to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, ecstasy, and BZP, one count of possession of methamphetamine, ecstasy, and BZP with intent to distribute, and one count of possession of ecstasy and BZP with intent to distribute. At one point, the press release said, Sychantha was listed on the Homeland Security Investigations' Ten Most Wanted List. Because Sychantha is not a United States citizen, he will be deported back to Canada after serving his sentence. Gorgon was supported in the announcement by Jared Murphey, acting Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, Detroit field office. The Homeland Security Investigations team led the case. "This sentencing brings Sychantha's cross border criminal enterprise to a fitting end," Murphy said. "The collective effort by the case agents, the prosecutors and our international partners is astounding, and I commend them all for a job well done." Evidence at trial showed that Sychantha led an organization for about eight years that directed several couriers to transport hundreds of thousands of pills and tens of thousands of dollars in drug proceeds across the United States-Canada border. His couriers — many of whom were caught and convicted themselves — traveled within multiple states. The sentence was issued by Chief United States Judge Sean F. Cox.

Germany's N26 Weighs New Funding Round That Allows Partial Exit
German digital bank N26 is considering a new funding round at a reduced valuation that could allow some of its existing investors including Coatue Management, Third Point and Dragoneer Investment to recoup part of their investment, people familiar with the matter said. The Series F funding round being contemplated by N26 would let the existing investors sell part of their stakes, according to the people. N26 has been discussing a structure that would allow them to roll over some of their holdings into the new round at a lower valuation, meaning they wouldn't get the 25% guaranteed return promised at their initial investment, the people said.
