ABSTRACT:
A travel system and methods that encompass a plurality of service providers and multi-application passenger cards so as to automatically compile, issue, utilize, and process the portable passenger cards for traveling purposes, purchase of travel-related goods and services, and for the implementation of other card-based applications. The multi-application cards are realized by smart debit and/or credit card technology and have the ability to store and activate a traveler's permit for transportation and other travel services; as well as to host and employ a monetary value for electronic payment means. Biometrics identification of cardholders, as well as cryptographic certification of card data and travel-related information, can optionally be encoded onto the cards and can be verified, including validated, at various point-of-service locations upon presentation of the card for utilization.
