(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 05/18/15 -- Bytemark, Inc., a leading provider of mobile ticketing & commerce solutions for the global mass transit industry, today announced its participation at the upcoming Global AirRail Conference (GARA) 2015. At the show, Founder and CEO Micah Bergdale will deliver a session on "Mobile Technology for Intermodal Travel" at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 22. GARA takes place May 20 through May 22 at The Fairmont Royal York in Toronto, Canada.
The session will focus on Bytemark''s advanced mobile ticketing solutions, online and onboard, for Union Pearson Express (UP Express), Canada''s first dedicated airport express rail service that bridges travel between Toronto Pearson International Airport and Toronto''s Union Station. Mr. Bergdale will also discuss how Bytemark''s ticketing platform will integrate with third party resellers, offering consumers the ability to purchase train tickets when they purchase airfare via travel sites such as Expedia.com, Kayak, Air Canada, Priceline and WestJet.
"It is an honor to address the air-rail operator community at GARA, especially during such an important time in the city of Toronto''s transportation revolution as we quickly approach our imminent launch with UP Express," said Micah Bergdale. "We''re just a few weeks away from deploying one of the first mobile ticketing solutions for Toronto-area commuters, so the Toronto venue provides the ideal backdrop for us to share this exciting story with GARA attendees."
UP Express is a $456 million project that, beginning on June 6, will transport an estimated 5,000 travelers daily. Bytemark, Inc. will initially launch web-based ticket purchasing as well as 120+ handheld devices for rail conductors to sell, print and validate tickets onboard. An accompanying mobile app will launch in the fall, allowing UP Express riders the ability to purchase and store rail tickets on their smartphones.
