Abstract
Access rights are controlled in a cyclically operated transport system having spatially-defined embarkation and disembarkation areas. The access to the transport system occurs without access monitoring in the embarkation areas, but the access rights of the persons on board the transport system are read remotely during travel by an externally mounted, stationary reading device. If the number of detected valid access rights is less than the number of persons on board the transport system, and/or if a discrepancy exists between the number of detected valid access rights per access right category and the number of persons on board the transport system per access right category, then the access rights are monitored after disembarkation in order to identify the person or persons without access rights.
