Use Cases — UK Franchising

One platform for franchised networks

Justride supports network structures where a central authority sets fare policy and multiple contracted operators deliver the service — with central configuration, and oversight across modes.

How it works

Central authority. Operator delivery. One platform.

  • One ticket

    (Central fare policy) The franchising authority sets network-wide rules — operators configure delivery within those parameters

  • One network

    Each operator sees only their configuration and data — no cross-operator visibility by default

  • One rider experience

    Riders experience one unified fare system regardless of which operator runs their route.

Choose your model

Which fare model fits your franchising approach?

Each model serves different rider needs and authority starting points. Many authorities run more than one on the same platform.

  • Proven entry point
