Abstract
An embodiment of the invention provides a system and method for a transaction system supporting universal ticket solutions for transportation. A fund managing device determines whether a first fund of an account of a user has sufficient credit to satisfy a transportation fee imposed by a first city. The account of the user includes separate funds for different cities, where the funds include credit in different national currencies. An account managing device determines whether other funds of the account of the user have additional credit to satisfy the transportation fee imposed by the first city when the first fund of the account of the user does not have sufficient funds to satisfy the transportation fee imposed by the first city. A financial managing device determines costs for transferring credit to the first fund from the other funds of the account of the user.
