Masabi announced that it has integrated Masterpass and Apple Pay digital wallet technology into MTA eTix, the mobile ticketing app that enables Metro-North Railroad and Long Island Rail Road customers to purchase their tickets anywhere, anytime, according to a press release about the announcement.

Metro-North Railroad and Long Island Rail Road commuters can now buy one way, round trip, ten trip, weekly, CityTickets, and monthly passes through MTA eTix.

"We're pleased to welcome both Apple Pay and Masterpass to the eTix experience," MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas F. Prendergast said in a statement.
