Defining prices for single-ride and multi-ride tickets | Price models define the ticket fares and the availability of different tariff types through different channels. |
Multi-ride Tickets and Reservations | Beneath the common single-ride tickets, Tixys allows creating arbitrary types of “multi-ride tickets”, with specific parameters for the validity period and the amount of available trips. |
Price Differentiation with Channels | Use “channels” to implement price discrimination for different markets. For example, post-paid agencies can sell at slightly higher prices to include their commission. |
Yield Management with Discount Models | Yield management is a strategy to maximize revenue. Tixys implements yield management through so-called “discount models”, which are rule sets for dynamic pricing. |
Managing Booked Tickets and Payments | Once you are selling tickets, you will want to view and manage existing ticket bookings and payments. |
