Masabi and Jorudan, Japan’s leading trip planning service, have signed a partnership agreement to bring mobile ticketing to the Japanese transit market and integrate their best-of-breed services to deliver a seamless passenger experience.
Under the terms of the deal, Jorudan will integrate the Justride mobile ticketing SDK into its market transit apps, meaning once an operator signs up to the service, tickets will be available in the application.
“By partnering with Masabi we will be able to revolutionise the travel experience, especially for the rapidly increasing number of foreign visitors. Our partnership with Masabi is an essential step in our approach to entering and impacting the MaaS market,” Toshikazu Sato, CEO of Jorudan said.
Jorudan will also use the Justride External Orders API to deliver tickets to users smartphones when purchased through company’s website and Japan Transit Planner website. The two companies will jointly market the ticketing solution to transit operators which will also include Masabi’s Justride Inspect ticket validation solutions.
Masabi’s Justride SDK is the first mobile ticketing SDK for public transport. It allows 3rd party applications to request fare types, make payments, and deliver visual and barcode mobile tickets to passengers through a secure ticket wallet. The solution is used by Uber, Transit, Gertek and Kisio/Keolis.
