In July 2026, together with the delivery of two new Solaris electric buses for Miejski Zak\u0142ad Komunikacyjny w Tomaszowie Mazowieckim Sp. z o.o., we had the opportunity, in cooperation with Pixel, to equip the vehicles with NV1 validators enabling passengers to purchase tickets using a contactless payment card.<\/p>\n
The validators work together with Pixel\u2019s XC-6 onboard computer. Based on timetable data and the route currently being operated, the device automatically switches to the appropriate fare zone \u2013 M, I or II \u2013 and presents passengers with the relevant ticket options.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the NV1 also functions as a traditional ticket validator, allowing passengers to validate paper tickets using the print format applicable in Tomasz\u00f3w Mazowiecki. As a result, a single device supports both modern ticket purchases with contactless payment and the existing paper ticketing system.<\/p>\n
Along with the validators, we also delivered the MTM system<\/strong> for central device management, as well as ticket inspection devices with a dedicated application enabling efficient ticket verification during inspections.<\/p>\n We hope that, as the fleet continues to be modernised and renewed, the system will gradually be extended to additional MZK Tomasz\u00f3w Mazowiecki vehicles.<\/p>\n The functions and operating logic of the validator software used in this project are presented in the videos available in the following playlist:<\/p>\n
