While it has been possible to purchase rail tickets online for some time, most tickets are still bought at the station where queuing can cause delays and missed trains, particularly at peak times. Masabi’s ‘Ticket Machine in your Pocket’ application allows almost all mobile users to search for and purchase tickets on their handset using a credit or debit card and then display it on-screen as a secure 2D barcode or human-readable ticket. Barcode scanners are already being rolled out by rail operators and the system will support NFC when it becomes more widely available. The system uses Masabi’s award-winning, US government certified, EncryptME security to protect all transactions, and supports the UK rail barcode ticketing standard which Masabi was instrumental in developing.
