Mobile ticketing launched on Osaka Monorail
Users of the Japan Transit Planner and Norikae Annai journey planning MaaS apps can now benefit from mobile ticketing when travelling on the Osaka Monorail.
Jorudan, Japan’s leading trip planning service – in partnership with Masabi – has announced the launch of mobile ticketing for Osaka Monorail, Japan’s largest elevated rail network, covering 18 stations in the country’s third largest city.
The initial three-month pilot deployment will see the two companies deployed in a major Japanese city, offering a proven mobile ticketing solution on a high-density transit service with high passenger volumes.
From 4 November 2021, passengers can purchase one-day mobile tickets and off-peak mobile tickets, valid for use across the entire network using Jorudan’s two MaaS apps – Japan Transit Planner and Norikae Annai journey planning. The Japanese company has integrated the Justride mobile ticketing SDK into its market-leading MaaS apps, meaning that, once operators sign up to the service, tickets can quickly and easily be made available to all users of both apps.
