US bus operator 6635 First Capital Connect has announced the launch of its new queue-reducing mobile ticketing app, allowing passengers to use their mobile phone or tablet as a ticket machine.

Developed by 6870 Masabi, the app can be downloaded the app to the user’s phone, enabling them to instantly purchase peak and certain off-peak tickets for immediate use.

Mobile tickets (mTickets) are displayed on the phone’s screen as an encrypted barcode to be scanned by gate line scanners or revenue staff – turning the phone into a personalised ticket machine.

The app also provides real-time information on trains and timetables. It saves frequent journeys and securely stores payment information which means that users can make repeat purchases with just a few taps, removing the need to enter log-in details each time.
