Masabi says the move will allow riders to purchase daily bus passes in Jorudan’s trip planning app in English and Japanese.
Toshikazu Sato, CEO of Jorudan, says: “We’re enabling people to not only plan their journey, but also buy their transport ticket and even buy a voucher for a meal. The barcode provides a simple and visual way for both bus drivers and restaurants to quickly validate tickets.”
