About Masabi:
At Masabi, we are helping to make cities better places to live, work and visit by enabling seamless, frictionless journeys on public transport systems. We are a SaaS company developing a fare collection platform that allows people to buy and present tickets for public transit on their mobile phones or by tapping a bank card or smart card to travel.

We believe a new fare payments system allowing passengers to tap and ride without needing to buy a ticket or understand fares should be available to every passenger and every transit agency around the globe, without prohibitive costs or taking years to deliver, helping people move seamlessly from A to B.

Our Justride platform has been named Ticketing Technology of the Year 2019/2020, being in use in over 100 locations worldwide, including New York, London, Boston, Las Vegas, Valencia, The Hague, Los Angeles, Melbourne, and many more. With an exciting industry-first mobile ticketing SDK, we are partnering with companies like Uber, Lyft, Transit, Moovit to enable the purchase of public transit tickets within leading mobility applications.

Join us on this exciting ride as we build the transit technology ecosystem of tomorrow.
