ITSO is a government-backed non-profit organisation which sets a common technical standard that:

  • means transport operators throughout Britain can link up so passengers only have to use one secure payment ‘smart’ card no matter what bus, train or route they are using
  • means that same card can be developed for multiple uses, including council services such as leisure centres or libraries

ITSO works closely with organisations that are interested in making this happen. Learn more about ITSO and how to contact us.
