ITSO is delighted to share a landmark development from our wholly-owned subsidiary, Yotra.
Yotra has officially launched its contactless ITSO digital smart ticketing solution on Apple Wallet across the Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) network.
Following Yotra's earlier integrations with Google Wallet, the rollout of ITSO digital tickets with Apple completes the dual-wallet capability - bringing seamless, contactless ITSO digital ticketing to both iOS and Android users.
The Launch: Supporting Greater Manchester’s 'Our Pass'
The live rollout kicked off with TfGM’s Our Pass scheme, providing 16 to 18 year olds across Greater Manchester with instant access to their concessionary travel passes within their smartphone wallet. This live implementation marks the first phase of a broader rollout across the UK's public transport networks.
Moving from Development to Delivery
This achievement marks a major strategic turning point for Yotra. Having completed the core development of their cloud based digital ticketing solution, Yotra is transitioning from the build phase into full commercial delivery.
Key Benefits
- Proven Standard & Modern Tech: Yotra pairs the security, interoperability, and trust of the national ITSO standard with the convenience of global mobile wallets.
- Turnkey Mobile Capability: Passengers can now store, renew, and tap ITSO-compliant passes using Apple Wallet and Google Wallet without requiring bespoke apps.
- Ready to Scale: The Greater Manchester deployment provides a proven blueprint designed to be replicated across regions nationwide.
- No Power Mode: Using Apple “Express Mode” products in Apple Wallet are able to be used for a maximum of 5 hours after the battery has been depleted.
- Global Development Roadmap: Both Apple and Google are continuously developing both their wallet products, and the wider ecosystem in which they operate.
Open for Business: Replicating the Manchester Model
With the solution now live and field-tested in one of the UK’s busiest transport hubs, Yotra is actively working with a range of transport providers across the UK to explore how mobile wallet integration can modernise passenger journeys in their regions.
