Greyhound Bus Self-Service Tickets

US bus giant, Greyhound Lines, improves passenger experience with self-service ticketing from NCR.
 
Greyhound, the largest North American provider of intercity bus transportation, serving more than 3,800 destinations across the continent, is now providing a new self-service kiosk ticketing solution that will allow passengers to buy tickets at the kiosk or pick up tickets that were purchased online. NCR will also provide support services for the 150 kiosks being initially deployed at major stations in the Northeast, with a view to expand the offering throughout the United States.
 
"Greyhound is committed to delivering superior amenities and convenience to our customers," said Dave Leach, president and CEO, Greyhound. "We are reinventing our brand from the ground up, and extending better service with the introduction of NCR self-service ticketing supports our vision of improving the overall travel experience."

The self-service solution will help Greyhound reduce wait times and free up employees to spend more time with customers who have more complex travel needs.
 
"The widespread global adoption of self-service in the aviation industry clearly illustrates the traveller's desire for self-service convenience," said Theresa Heinz, vice president and general manager, NCR Travel. "We believe greater efficiencies and brand loyalty can be derived by extending seamless multi-channel convenience to all modes of travel."

Usability Workshop @ KEX 2012

Handspiel
What can self-service terminals learn from the success of the iPad? The Usability Expert Workshop will explore ways of developing self-service solutions capable of inspiring the same fanatical reaction as Apple’s iconic product. On the 7th of March this year, hundreds of people were out on the streets, waiting to be amongst the first to get their hands on the latest iPad iteration. They had camped out all night with their thermoses in the freezing cold. Why are so many people willing to do this in front of every Apple store, but not for a new check-in terminal at the airport, train station, or shopping mall? What’s behind the buzz, and how can we encourage a similar reaction to self-service solutions? Through expert contributions and together with you, we will seek to answer these questions and explore future ways to get there. KIOSK EUROPE and Handspiel will present the Usability Expert Workshop as part of KIOSK EUROPE EXPO 2012, which runs from 12-13 June. The Usability Workshop will take place on Wednesday, 13th June from 10:30-13:30. Numbers are limited, so secure your place now by booking online at www.kioskeurope-expo.com
