Commenting on the findings and its milestone in ticket sales for MBNA Thames Clippers, Ben Whitaker, Head of Innovation, Masabi said: "The smartphone has become an integral part of millions of people’s daily lives is confirmed by the sheer volume of journey purchases by MBNA Thames Clippers customers over the last 12 months.
Whitaker added: "Unlike traditional ticketing methods, mobile services are able to provide exceptionally accurate data on things like location, routes and peak demand.
Access to such information is invaluable to transport operators in providing the best services possible to their customers.
Geoff Symonds, COO, MBNA Thames Clippers added: "We have been extremely pleased with the success of the ticketing App in its first year. This has proved particularly popular for our regular commuters who welcome the convenience of a self-serve ticket application.
"We hope that this pattern continues as we look forward to developing the product further with Masabi."
