Transport mobile ticketing and innovative fare collection company, Masabi announced JustRide Express — a new offering giving small and mid-sized transit agencies and private operators a world class, deployment proven, and complete mobile ticketing system.

JustRide Express brings Masabi's JustRide Platform to a whole new market, offering an affordable, market leading, mobile ticketing solution based on the same proven technology deployed in major cities, such as New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and London.
