5c-Mobile Introduces Mfa – Mobile Passenger Information for Public Transport

Leipzig, Germany, May 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- MFA is 5C-Mobile’s solution for comprehensive customer support and guest information in public transport (PT). The first version of the multilingual mobile guide is already available for 250 mobile phones.

The mobile software supports the passengers not only before, but also during, and after the trip. As a special feature MFA accompanies passengers not only seamlessly on their mobile phones, but also on any computer as a widget (software tool), which makes the use of the public transport system significantly more attractive.

MFA includes the following functions: route planner to calculate real-time connections, interactive map of the public transport network for easy orientation, departure monitor for real-time information, information on fares, news, operational changes for certainty and control, emergency numbers for more security, and contact of the transportation company for direct dialogue. Most information is saved offline on the passenger’s mobile phone: once installed it is always available and can be retrieved anytime and anywhere. The cost for an update is less than the price of an SMS.

Relying on standard interfaces and APIs MFA can easily be integrated into the existing information systems of the public transport provider.

5C-Mobile, specialist in Mobile Business and Social Media, develops, programs, and distributes a diverse portfolio of mobile and social applications and contents, and consults along the entire digital value chain.
