Summary Except for the Taipei Easy Card Company, the usage volume of all the e-ticketing operators in Taiwan have not yet reached a reasonable economic scale. Therefore, the upcoming system operation, expansion and inter-operator integration will be the most critical issue for all those e-ticketing operators.

  In order to reach a reasonable economic operation scale, for the ticket companies to maintain normal operation of the trading volume, “one card for all systems and all cards mutually compatible” will be the policy goal of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. Hence, both the public and private sectors should work together to support a suitable fundamental environment for the e-ticketing integration and related technical development.

  Current researches have suggested some interesting preliminary solutions for the business issues that derived from the “one device fits all cards” policy. In the meantime, the worldwide trend of upgrading the traditional Mifare type of card to the CPU type of cards will be discussed, and some of the existing instances of this trend will also be closely examined.
