Transport mobile ticketing provider 6870 Masabi has deployed its JustRide software development kit (SDK in the French cities of Orleans and Montargis, in partnership with public transport operator 6546 Keolis.


‘Plan-Book-Ticket’ by Keolis is available now for bus and tram passengers in Orleans, after Montargis went live in January 2017. The SDK allows Masabi’s strategic partner Keolis to incorporate mobile ticketing into existing travel information, booking and planning apps, greatly improving the travel experience in these cities.

It incorporates visual and barcode-based mobile ticketing and validation technology from Masabi’s JustRide Platform and allows French public transport agencies to create fully-integrated, custom branded, ticketing and trip planning applications. Orleans has also deployed Masabi’s JustRide Inspect Validator across the tram network, which allows passengers to scan mobile tickets after boarding.

The JustRide SDK allows an integrated app to manage payment, request fare types and deliver visual and barcode tickets to a passenger through the ticket wallet. The SDK communicates with Masabi servers to understand complex fare tables and manages the ticket, its life-cycle and security. Operators using the SDK will also have access to the JustRide Hub, from where they can access a wealth of back-office data and reporting.
