Masabi has deployed mobile ticketing on trams and buses to HTM Personenvervoer NV, the public transport company for The Hague, in The Netherlands, according to a press release.
The service, which uses Masabi's JustRide prodoct is now live across the city's 17 lines, which account for more than 90 million euros in fare revenue per year, according to the release.
"Around the world more and more major cities are turning to JustRide to improve the public transport experience. The introduction of mobile ticketing in The Hague is the first city-wide deployment of its kind anywhere in The Netherlands, and we are delighted that yet another major city has chosen the JustRide platform," Masabi CEO Brian Zanghi said in the release. "This is a landmark project that is changing the way people travel in the city, with passengers able to buy tickets anywhere, anytime at the touch of a button."
1B journeys made by contactless payment on London's transport network
London's transport network has now seen more than one billion fares paid through contactless payment cards, according to a press release from Transport for London.
Of these, almost one in 10 contactless transactions are now made using mobile devices, with more than 31 million journeys made specifically using mobile phones in London in the last 12 months.
The landmark figures, which the transit agency published this past week, show that, on average, two million journeys are now made using contactless every day.
In total, 40 percent of all pay-as-you-go journeys are now made using contactless. This is up from 25 percent in early 2016.
"London continues to lead the way in terms of contactless payment around the world, and the money we make selling TfL's innovation and expertise to other major global cities will allow us to put further money into improving London's own transport network," Sadiq Khan, London's mayor, said in the release.
The agency's contactless payment system was first launched on London's buses in December 2012 and expanded to cover Tube and rail services in London in September 2014.
The system automatically calculates the best value fare based on the customer's specific journey history and then charges them at the end of the day, ensuring they always pay the lowest fare in the easiest and most convenient way, according to the release.
As a part of the deployment, JustRide also 'deeplinks' to the HTM trip planning application, allowing real-time A to B route planning and service updates to be accompanied by the option to purchase and store transit tickets on passenger devices.
