Redesigning Journeys to Meet & Exceed Modern Traveler Expectations

 

Arriva, a leading European transportation provider, faced growing challenges with its payment journey.

As travelers increasingly shifted toward digital and contactless solutions, the existing payment system created unnecessary friction.

This ultimately led to frustration, longer transaction times, and inconsistent experiences across different transit networks. 

TCXA was brought in to redesign the payment journey, ensuring a seamless, efficient process that met modern traveler expectations. 

The Challenge

 

The transition to mobile payments and digital travel cards introduced complexities that impacted both customers and internal teams. Arriva needed a solution that: 

Reduced customer frustration caused by inconsistent payment options across different regions. 

Minimized delays by improving transaction speed and system reliability. 

Ensured adoption of new payment methods without creating confusion or barriers for frequent travelers. 

Without a structured payment journey, these inefficiencies risked lowering satisfaction, increasing complaints, and weakening long-term ridership loyalty…
