Abstract Today’s biggest challenge in current ticketing system is “QUEUE” in booking railway tickets. In this fast growing world of technology we still stand in the queue or buy with CVM coupons or smart cards for our suburban tickets, which is more frustrating at times to stand in the queue or if we forget our cards. This paperless Mobile Suburban Railway (MSR) ticketing is mainly to buy the suburban tickets which is the most challenging when compared to booking the long journey tickets through `M-ticket ' which fails with suburban(local travel) tickets. Our MSR ticket can be bought with just a smart phone application, where you can carry your suburban railway tickets in your smart phone as a QR (Quick Response) ticket. The ticket will have distinct color scheme everyday and it cannot be forwarded to another mobile. Our MSR- tickets system is one of the best opportunities for those who cannot afford enough time to get their tickets standing in long queues.

The Opal card is a contactless smartcard that is the new centrepiece of the new electronic ticketing system implemented by Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS). It allows the user to top up a balance either through manual loading (via Opal top-up machines), or linked to a credit card. This balance is used against Opal card readers to scan where the trip begins and ends, automatically calculating the fare and deducting it from the balance on the card. In the event that the trip has been started, but not finished (scanned only once within a day), a default fare will be charged to the card. The Opal card needs to abide by the Identification cards - Contactless integrated circuit cards (ISO/IEC 14443) standard, depicting its physical dimensions (85.60mm × 54.00mm × 0.76 mm), radio frequency (13.56 MHz), anti-collision processes (bit-collision detection protocol) and transmission protocols (half-duplex block transmission protocol). This new ticketing system would be gradually introduced throughout the greater Sydney region, across all 190 stations of the Sydney train network by 28th March 2014 and then further extended to include “52 more stations on the South Coast Line to Wollongong, Port Kembla and Bomaderry, as well as the Southern Highlands Line to Goulburn” by April 4.
