Do you work for a public transport company in Europe (or anywhere else in the world for that matter)? The EU wants to hear from you!

As part of a project to create a unified standard for public transport ticketing across Europe, allowing a single ticket to be sold from anywhere to anywhere, we'd like to collect as much information as possible on what transport products currently exists. With enough information, we hope to be able to write a standard that covers every edge case.
