Masabi triumphs at the Transport Ticketing Global Awards: the Supplier Innovation Award recognizes the company for its Open Platform approach, designed and developed to revolutionize the ticketing industry and free public transport companies from the constraints imposed by closed, proprietary systems.

Masabi’s open ticketing platform that won at the Transport Ticketing Global Awards

Masabi‘s Open Platform Integration Suite enables companies to (easily) integrate best-of-breed technologies without depending on a single vendor. An approach that ensures: interoperability with multiple hardware and software vendors; scalability to support the growth needs of transportation companies; and freedom of choice by removing barriers imposed by proprietary systems

By winning the Supplier Innovation Award at the Transport Ticketing Global Awards, Masabi reaches 34 industry awards, establishing itself as one of the most awarded companies in the public transport ticketing industry worldwide.

National Express West Midlands and Masabi

National Express also received an honorable mention award this year in the Best Passenger Experience Initiative category. This recognition recognizes the transformational journey National Express has undertaken with Masabi to modernize ticketing, improve accessibility, and optimize the travel experience for millions of passengers. We are proud to have supported National Express, helping to make public transportation more innovative and efficient.

Together with National Express West Midlands (NXWM), Masabi developed one of the most innovative implementations of 2024, taking digital ticketing to a new level. By integrating the technology with the Citymapper app, we created a seamless multimodal ticketing experience, giving passengers easy and immediate access to public transportation.
