Masabi, a firm that provides contactless payment to public transit systems, has added contactless EMV ticketing to its Justride fare collection platform, allowing passengers to pay for a ride by tapping a contactless bank card.
Masabi will partner with Spanish technology firm Gertek and the city of Bilbao to run a pilot program on its public bus systems, called Bilbobus, according to a press release.
In August Masabiannounced that Lurraldebus, a Spanish intercity public transport service with more than 250 buses operating in Gipuzkoa, launched mobile ticketing using the Justride platform.
Masabi has public transit partners with 40 different systems worldwide, including New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority, which includes the NYC subway, Metro North rail system and Long Island Railroad, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, the Los Angeles Metrolink commuter rail system and HTM The Hague in Europe.
Masabi, which is financially backed by Mastercard and public transit provider Keolis, has offices in New York, London and Cluj, Romania.
