Powerful new collaboration delivers integrated, modern fare payment solution critical to Mobility-as-a-Service success<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Toronto, Canada and New York, US \u2013 April 24, 2020<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Masabi<\/a>, the company bringing Fare Payments-as-a-Service (FPaaS) to public transit and\u00a0Trapeze Group<\/a>, a global leader in the delivery of advanced transit technology and tools, today announced a strategic collaboration to offer transit agencies an integrated fare payment solution to help revolutionize the rider experience and change the way public transit agencies deliver Mobility-as-a-Service to their communities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ideal MaaS model is driven by a platform that coordinates multiple modes of mobility to deliver an elevated rider experience. A critical element of that model is payment. By combining Masabi’s fare payment platform with Trapeze’s multi-modal transit technology, agencies can offer passengers seamless journeys, enabling them to go from A to B to C using multiple modes of transit and one easy-to-use payment system.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAt Masabi, we are committed to making transit as accessible and convenient for riders as possible,\u201d said\u00a0Brian Zanghi, CEO at Masabi<\/strong>. \u201cPartnering with Trapeze, enables us to extend the reach and impact of our fare payments platform, empowering more public transit agencies to deliver the most seamless, cost-effective passenger experiences for riders, while also giving agencies the option of a one-stop-shop for their technology needs across their fleets.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The collaboration will help bring the benefits of Account-Based Ticketing (ABT) to agencies of all sizes. ABT is a ticketless way of enabling people to travel, allowing them to tap or scan a secure token, linked to an account in the back office, to make a journey. The location and number of taps calculates the fare, which is charged to the passenger post journey. This means riders no longer need to buy tickets, or understand fares, and can benefit from best payment policies, rewarding them the more they travel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This ABT system leverages Trapeze\u2019s expertise deploying integrated transportation technology solutions, with Masabi’s proven, easy-to-implement Justride platform. A one-stop model for data collection, trip planning and payment, this system integrates with other technologies to help transit agencies deliver dynamic mobility tools to riders.<\/p>\n
