Mountain Metropolitan Transit (MMT) in Colorado Springs announced the launch of a fare payment system, powered by Masabi’s Open Platform, Justride.

Riders are now able to purchase reusable smartcards or use the RideMMT app, giving them the ability to tap and ride without needing to buy a ticket or select a fare before traveling.

Masabi's Account-Based Ticketing Solution

The phased "Mobile-First’" deployment began with the launch of the RideMMT mobile ticketing app in early 2022, enabling riders to purchase tickets using their smart devices.

Masabi then installed Justride Validator units (JRVs) onboard MMT’s bus fleet culminating in the launch of a new Account-Based Ticketing solution.

The modular design of the Masabi platform makes it possible to deploy MMT’s new fare system in phases.

“We’re excited to be extending our partnership with Masabi, by expanding to their outstanding account-based ticketing solution through their Justride platform,” said Lan Rao, Transit division director at MMT. “The upgrade to this platform will greatly improve passenger experience, it offers flexibility and accessibility for our customers to undertake journeys as they please, without having to pay last-minute prices, enhancing and upholding fare equity."
