Abstract

This paper examines the landscape of contactless transport payment systems in developing countries, focusing on data ownership, regulatory challenges, advantages, disadvantages, and implications. It explores the roles of city authorities, contractors, and consumers in managing and utilising data generated through these systems, emphasising the need for robust cybersecurity measures and comprehensive regulatory frameworks. Despite offering enhanced convenience and operational efficiencies, these systems present challenges such as cybersecurity risks, adoption barriers, and ethical concerns over data commercialisation. Plans include integrating these systems with international travel apps, developing user-friendly applications, and enhancing security protocols. The paper highlights the theoretical contributions and opportunities for future research, urging further exploration into regulatory effectiveness, consumer behaviour, technological advancements, ethical dilemmas, regional comparisons, and long-term impacts on urban mobility.
