MTA New York has announced the success of a field test for MTA eTix, a free app that will allow Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Metro-North (MNR) customers to purchase train tickets on the mobile devices.
The app is being developed and implemented by Masabi Ltd. under a competitive request for proposals issued in March 2013. The company was selected in Aprilie 2014.
The LIRR and Metro-North expect to launch the first phase of the MTA eTix app’s rollout on select lines in June, and the app will be available to all rail customers by the end of 2016.
Both conductors and participating customers have been monitoring the app’s performance, and reporting any problems they encounter to the app development team in order to ensure that the technology works seamlessly when it is rolled out across the railways.
