Ferry ticketing – Handbook 206
• Handbook 206 (HB 206) about electronic ticketing has become a part of Norway's regulations.
• All public transportation companies must use HB 206 in their procurement process.
• HB 206 are in accordance with ISO and CEN standards.
Recommendations
• Make use of open standards.
• Standards and specifications should be;
– Easy accessible
– On English
– Owned by some public authority
• Make use of requirements for the interfaces instead of technical requirements for the product.
• More use of functional requirements for the products.
• Cooperation between countries and harmonization of standards.
• Buy large quantities.
