MBTA Sells Over 60% of Available Tickets via Mobile Ticketing and Saved $70m in CapEx
MBTA, Boston USA
Boston’s MBTA Mobile Ticketing Deployment
In 2012, to reduce the cost and inconvenience of on-board cash purchases, Boston’s MBTA, the US’s 5th largest transit agency, had been looking to extend its smartcard, CharlieCard, to its Commuter Rail. This would allow riders to move away from paying on-board with cash – however the proposed smartcard project was expected to cost over $70m in CapEx alone.
Instead they opted for a mobile ticketing solution and today over 60% of tickets are sold via the mobile ticketing app.
