In mid-March 2017, Trapeze was presented the Smart Mobility UAE Award at this year’s Smart Mobility UAE Congress in the United Arab Emirates in Dubai. The congress is held annually in collaboration with the IRF Geneva (International Road Federation).

The UAE Award was presented as a distinction for our Be-in/Be-out ticketing solution (BiBo), which Trapeze is currently marketing intensively in the Arabian region.

Trapeze won the award in Dubai with its innovative ComfoAccess® BiBo solution against renowned competitors from the passenger transport industry. The jury with its prestigious panel of international members rated the Trapeze solution as a trend-setting contribution to convenient and cashless mobility.
