Included as standard

Digital cab passes with QR verification

Cab authority is held on the employee record as a standard driving cab pass. Issue a digital pass and a QR code appears beside the photo, scan it to open the live pass in a browser with no sign-in.

Issue a digital cab pass in a few steps

From colour choice to QR verification, the flow stays on the employee record. No separate system, no login for the person scanning the pass.

You pick the pass colour first, green, yellow, blue, red or black, then fill the same fields as a standard driving cab pass: validity dates, routes, endorsements and issuer signature. Nothing is created until you confirm.

Once issued, a QR sits beside the photo for public verification in a browser. Email a copy to the employee with a view link, manage renew, revoke, edit or delete from the pass preview, and print a credit-card layout from Pass layout & print without leaving the Cab Passes tab.

Print a credit-card cab pass

From Pass layout & print on the Cab Passes tab, the issued pass sits in a landscape ISO ID-1 preview (85.6 × 53.98 mm). Tap the card to flip between the front and the conditions of use on the reverse.

Print credit-card size opens a two-page A4 print preview — page 1 is the front of the pass, page 2 is the reverse rotated for duplex alignment. Both pages share cut guides, scissors marks and step-by-step instructions so the physical card lines up when you print double-sided with flip on long edge.

Cut along the dotted line after printing. Optional laminating keeps a durable pocket pass that still matches the live digital record and QR.

On QA verification reports

Digital Cab Passes is included as standard. When the QA Verifications add-on is purchased, cab pass status forms part of the employee verification report. Expired or unsigned passes surface as review items; in-date signed passes show as compliant, with a direct path back to Cab Passes to fix anything that needs attention.

Each issued pass appears in a Cab Pass preview on the report with colour, pass number and expiry, so the checker sees the live authority rather than a static note. Outcomes resolve to Review or Compliant for every pass on the record.

Where a pass needs renewing or updating, Fix in Cab Passes opens the record from the report so the fix happens in the same system of record that issued it. Without the QA Verifications add-on, passes still live on the employee record; report status simply is not included until that module is active.

Frequently asked questions

How are cab passes verified?

Each pass includes QR code verification that anyone can scan to validate authority and status against the live record.

Are pass colour classifications supported?

Yes. Issue workflow captures colour classification and validity so the pass in the pocket matches the system of record.

Does someone need a Rail Intel login to check a pass?

No. Scanning the QR code opens the live pass in a browser with no sign-in, so gate staff or other checkers can validate authority without a Rail Intel account.

Is Digital Cab Passes included in core Rail Intel?

Yes. Issuing and managing digital cab passes is part of core Rail Intel. Showing pass status on verification reports requires the QA Verifications add-on.

What happens when a cab pass expires?

Expired passes stay on the employee record with status clear at a glance, and the QR remains available for audit. From the pass preview you can renew, revoke, edit or delete without leaving the Cab Passes tab.

Can I print a physical credit-card cab pass?

Yes. From Pass layout & print on the Cab Passes tab, Print credit-card size opens a two-page A4 preview (front and reverse) at ISO ID-1 size with cut guides. Print double-sided with flip on long edge, then cut along the dotted line.
