2 HopOn s Unique Solution HopOn is a unique solution that can be easily integrated in every form of public transit: buses, trams, trains, metros and rental bikes. We created a secure, simple to use, one-click button payment and validation technology, which covers the whole process of passenger s payment and validation, giving him the possibility to buy his tickets anywhere and anytime. We achieved this great ticketing experience by developing a patent pending, cutting edge, ultrasonic system combined with several advanced technologies. The system can work side by side with any current ticketing system that might be in use. How it Works? Using a wireless ultrasonic technology that is embedded in the HopOn beacon; we broadcast all the necessary data to the passenger s mobile phone. Therefore we support parallel validation, meaning that passengers can simultaneously validate or pay for their tickets. Using our system, the user s smartphone and the cloud become the automatic validators. This innovative technology is based on the inexpensive HopOn Beacon and supported by all smartphones. 2

3 HopOn - Cutting Through Lines Current common ticketing systems involve close interaction, where passengers must touch physical vending machines or validators with their card/ticket/cash. The outcome is increased duration of boarding/validating process which creates lines and crowded stations. HopOn is committed to cut these lines. By reducing the boarding and check-in times, we bring significant improvement to public transport systems. 4,000,000 Minutes are wasted on boarding time every day* 3 *In Tel Aviv region

5 Why HopOn? Unique Technology We created the "HopOn Beacon" that transfers information over ultrasonic sound waves to the passenger's phone. HopOn is a patent pending low cost system, and the only system that knows how to work in parallel and support multiple, simultaneous validations. Smart System The HopOn system is a very smart system. When a passenger boards the bus the system detects automatically the bus line, the boarding station, the ride fare and generates a valid boarding pass - with no intervention from the passenger! No Expensive Validators Using our system, the user smartphone and the amazon cloud becomes the validator. When a passenger enters the vehicle and opens the HopOn app it validates his ride automatically, validates his boarding pass and registers the validation on the operator's servers online. Simple Because HopOn is a smart system it is also a very simple one to use. It is mainly a 1 click button app for passenger validation, so there is no place for mistakes; always get the fare you deserve. 5
