Masabi at Transport Ticketing 2012



mticketing takes centre stage at flagship event

Transport Ticketing 2012 kicks off the New Year as the first major event in the Masabi calendar and it really is a ‘must attend’ for those interested in mTicketing. This year, Masabi is exhibiting, speaking and sponsoring, and we’re looking forward to meeting some of the transport industry’s most influential figures to discuss the latest developments in mTicketing technology.

“As increasing amounts of people use public transport every day, it has become critical to look at new means of ticketing which are cost-effective, scalable and – above all – user-friendly. Masabi has pioneered a mobile ticketing revolution in transport, proving themselves to be world leaders in the next generation of ticketing and fare collection. Make sure you join us at Transport Ticketing 2012 in January to gain practical insight into the new technologies that are changing the global ticketing landscape.” - Tim Headley, Marketing Manager, Clarion Events.
