Transit companies flocked to mobile ticketing after Superstorm Sandy caused ticket machine outages all over the Northeast in 2012, inciting a rapid rise in the implementation of mobile transit ticketing, according to Bytemark. During a press event yesterday, a Bytemark executive revealed that mobile ticketing increased 55 percent after Hurricane Sandy. He also detailed how the future of the mobile transit ticket industry is rapidly approaching as consumers relocate to urban areas, increasing the usage of public transportation, with 60 percent of individuals globally expected to relocate to urban areas.
