What is mobile ticketing?
Mobile ticketing is a process with which riders can select, pay for and validate their public transit fares using only their smartphone. The process takes place via special mobile applications.
With the help of these apps, transit agencies can implement account-based fare collection, various types of fares and many useful functionalities. They can also monitor better the processes and gather valuable reports which can then be used for system optimizations. Mobile ticketing is an easy way to replace the need for paper tickets!
How does mobile ticketing work?
To be able to use mobile ticketing, riders must download and install a mobile ticketing app on their smartphone. With Modeshift’s mobile application, they can explore and create a route for their trip, see the arrival times of the vehicles, purchase and validate the necessary fares.


What is the process of using mobile ticketing?
To purchase fares, riders need to create (or sync) an account and add their credentials – email, name, creadit or debit card, etc. All purchased fares are stored in an in-app wallet and can be used for validations across the public transit system via scanning or visual inspection.
Features of mobile tickets
Flexibility
Depending on the specific public transit system, fare policies vary. With mobile ticketing, fare collection is simplified and every transit agency can introduce and experiment with different fare strategies.
Security
If mobile ticketing is integrated with account-based fare collection, fares are stored safely within the account of each rider. If they lose their phone or need to reinstall the app, they can easily retrieve their fares by logging into their account.
Easy to use
Mobile tickets are extremely easy to use – simply scan the QR code of the ticket at the validator or show the active ticket to the inspector.
