Mobile ticketing supplier 6870 Masabi has been awarded two contracts in the UK, bringing mobile ticketing to students in the West Midlands bus passengers in Lancashire.

National Express Bus will be deploying its end-to-end cloud-based mobile ticketing system, JustRide, across the West Midlands, allowing students to purchase monthly travel passes on their smartphones, providing a new option in addition to the term passes which are purchased in person from existing sales channels.
 
JustRide comprises apps for ticket purchase, display and inspection together with back-end infrastructure for secure payments, ticket management, customer service, reporting and real-time analytics.

Masabi will also provide the JustRide mobile ticketing solution to Preston Bus, the company running bus services in and around the Lancashire city of Preston.
