The ticketing app is available for download from [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.justride.fif) and the [Apple App store](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fire-island-mtickets/id1240275646?mt=8).

It comprises award-winning apps for ticket purchase, display and inspection together with back-end infrastructure for secure payments, ticket and fare management, customer service, reporting and real-time analytics.   “Mobile ticketing has been a long time goal for both our ferry and water taxi operations.  When looking at the many options out there, none were able to compete with Masabi's offering and could not meet our deadline of just one month.” said Anthony Bonventre, Head of Technical Development at Fire Island Ferries. “Using the Just Ride visual validation technique has allowed us to avoid having to invest in a complex build out of handhelds and wireless communication.  The visual validation technique will allow us to maintain ticket collection times during the most hectic of trips.  We are excited to be able to offer the convenience of purchasing tickets anywhere, anytime, and with a credit card to our customers.”   “JustRide is revolutionising ticketing for a whole ![fiferries_1024.png](https://blog.masabi.com/hs-fs/hubfs/fiferries_1024.png?width=256&name=fiferries_1024.png)new segment of transport operators, providing Masabi’s proven technology used by cities like New York and Boston, at a price the mid-market can afford.” said Brian Zanghi, CEO of Masabi. “At Fire Island, we have gone live less than a month after contract signature, demonstrating the flexibility and rapid deployment capabilities of our platform.”   To Learn more about JustRide visit [http://www.masabi.com/justride-mobile-ticketing/](http://www.masabi.com/justride-mobile-ticketing/) or email James.Gooch@masabi.com     About Masabi
