The company says riders can use the BPay app to pay for travel on Urban, Express, Regional and City Bus Tour routes while also using trip planning services.

Masabi’s Justride technology will use Mastercard’s payment gateway services to help enable secure in-app payments. Acquiring bank services are being supplied by UniCredit Bank. 

Matt Blanks, head of global transit at Mastercard, says: “By combining our expertise and resources, we can address the challenges cities and transit agencies face, enabling them to deploy quick and simple solutions that improve the daily lives of the communities that they serve.”

BPay is available on the Apple app store and Google Play.
