MBTA debuts managed event transit ticketing platform

Tickets will be made available by match and boarding group, enabling the MBTA to manage capacity and provide controlled access to high-demand services associated with each event.

“Major international sporting events place extraordinary demands on public transportation systems,” said Brian Zanghi, CEO at Masabi. “Using the flexibility of our Justride platform, the MBTA was able to rapidly introduce a managed event transportation offering that addresses these challenges without requiring a separate application or new infrastructure.”

“This deployment demonstrates how transit agencies can use configurable fare payment technology to respond quickly to unique operational needs while maintaining a seamless rider experience”

Zanghi continued: “This deployment demonstrates how transit agencies can use configurable fare payment technology to respond quickly to unique operational needs while maintaining a seamless rider experience.”

Beyond Boston, Masabi reports its technology supports fare payment and ticketing programs in several North American host cities for this summer’s international soccer tournament, including New York and Los Angeles. Together, these deployments are helping transit agencies prepare for increased ridership and deliver efficient, reliable transportation for visitors and residents alike.
