A system and method for facilitating the payment and collection of transit system fares using a mobile device utilizes a smart sign including near field communication (NFC) devices that communicate with a contactless element embedded within a mobile wireless device. Each NFC device is associated with a different transit location. The NFC devices may be included on the same smart sign located at one transit location or on different smart signs located at different transit locations. Alternatively, one NFC device may be included on a smart sign at a departure location and another NFC device may be activated when or after the user enters the transit system to provide proof of fare purchase. The mobile device is positioned proximate the NFC devices to activate the NFC devices and access fare and/or schedule information or purchase a fare.

A method of providing a mobile device with data, the method comprising: receiving a first activation signal from the mobile device at a first device, wherein the first device is associated with a first location;receiving a second activation signal from the mobile device at a second device, wherein the second device is associated with a second location;receiving information identifying the first location and information identifying the second location from the mobile device via a wireless network; andproviding the mobile device with the data via the wireless network, the data being dependent on the first location and the second location;wherein the first device and the second device are included in a smart sign, the first device being associated with the first location as depicted on the smart sign and the second device being associated with the second location as depicted on the smart sign, andwherein the method further comprises enabling a user of the mobile device to access a transit system that provides transport from the first location to the second location. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the transit data is schedule information associated with travel between the first transit location and the second transit location. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the schedule information is one or more of a departure time at which transport is initiated between the first transit location and the second transit location and an amount of time for transport between the first transit location and the second transit location. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first activation signal is received from the mobile device at the first device using a short range communications method. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the short range communications method is a near field communications (NFC) technology. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the short range communications method is one of the group consisting of RFID, Bluetooth, or infra-red communications methods. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising causing the transit data to be stored within a contactless element contained in the mobile device. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the contactless element includes a dynamically configurable memory. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the first transit location is either a train station or a bus stop and the second transit location is either a train station or a bus stop. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising: calculating a payment value amount corresponding to a transit fare for travel between the first transit location and the second transit location, wherein the payment value amount is calculated based on the received information identifying the first transit location and information identifying the second transit location; anddeducting the calculated payment value amount from a consumer account associated with the mobile device. 15. The method of claim 1, further comprising deducting a payment value amount corresponding to a transit fare for travel between the first transit location and the second transit location from a consumer account associated with the mobile device, wherein the transit data is a fare payment credential that indicates that the payment value amount has been paid for travel between the first transit location and the second transit location. 16. The method of claim 1, further comprising: deducting a payment value amount corresponding to a transit fare for travel between the first transit location and the second transit location from a consumer account associated with the mobile device;receiving a fare payment credential from the mobile device via the wireless network, the credential indicating that the payment value amount has been paid for travel between the first transit location and the second transit location; andproviding the fare payment credential to a provider of a transit service for travel between the first transit location and the second transit location. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the transit data is provided to the mobile device from the smart sign using a short range communications method instead of via the wireless network. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the short range communications method is a near field communications (NFC) technology. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the short range communications method is one of the group consisting of RFID, Bluetooth, or infra-red communications methods. 20. A system for providing a mobile device with data, the mobile device capable of communication and data exchange using a short range communications method, the system comprising: a first device associated with a first location;a second device associated with a second location;a processor configured to execute a process to receive information identifying the first location and information identifying the second location from the mobile device via a wireless network and in response to generate data dependent on the first location and the second location; anda communication module coupled to the processor, the communication module configured to provide the mobile device with the generated data via the wireless network,wherein the first device and the second device are included in a smart sign, the first device being associated with the first location as depicted on the smart sign and the second device being associated with the second location as depicted on the smart sign, and further, wherein the data is generated in response to communication between the mobile device and the smart sign using the short range communications method, andwherein the first location is a first transit location and the second location is a second transit location, and further, wherein the generated data is transit data associated with transport between the first transit location and the second transit location. 21.
