Bytemark Powers Austin Metra Mobile Ticketing

May 29, 2013 |
NEW YORK -- Bytemark, a pioneer in mobile ticketing, is excited to announce plans to develop an official mobile ticketing system for Austin’s Capital Metro. Capital Metro is Austin’s regional public transportation provider, servicing 33 million people every year.

The mobile ticketing system, developed by NYC-based startup Bytemark, will allow riders the opportunity to avoid lines at the ticket vending machines and will eliminate the need for cash to purchase transit fares – essentially turning an Apple, Android or Windows mobile device into a transit pass.

In addition to the consumer facing mobile application, Bytemark will provide a state of the art user management platform solution and backend reporting system that will allow Capital Metro administrators to better manage transit offerings and meet their customers’ needs.
