Cubic Transportation Systems

We’re excited to have attended the NYU Tandon TMI Capstone Poster Session last week, where we met four talented students who collaborated with #Cubic this semester. Beyond classrooms and textbooks 📚, real #innovation happens when bright minds tackle real-world challenges. Their work was amazing, showing why industry-academic #partnerships matter so much for our industry’s future. #Cubic #Engineering #PublicTransit

As the #UK pushes to build a public transport network that is simpler and fairer, one challenge remains stubbornly unresolved: seamless fares and #ticketing across modes, regions, and borders. 🚫Fragmentation undermines #passenger confidence, limits accessibility, and prevents the full benefits of an integrated transport system. 🔗 Indeed, it is the missing link in delivering an accessible and user centred transport network fit for the next decade. In late March, @CBTransport convened senior decision makers from across Government, regions, operators, suppliers and industry bodies for a delivery focused roundtable with a single question at its core: what will it actually take to achieve a fully integrated, cross modal, inter regional and nationally coherent ticketing system by the end of the decade? The discussion moved beyond aspiration to action – confronting real barriers, identifying enablers, and testing how policy, governance, and delivery must align to make national integration inevitable instead of optional. 📖 Download Campaign for Better Transport's whitepaper to unlock a practical agenda for change and the actionable steps to ensure integrated ticketing is a transport reform success, not a missed opportunity.

No barriers, no hassle. Just easy, connected travel throughout the region! 👇 hubs.ly/Q04fx1Jx0 #Canada #BritishColumbia #PublicTransit #PublicTransport #Cubic #Umo #OpenPayments #ContactlessPayments

For years, fare payment systems have been treated as a technical detail rather than a core part of the #passenger experience. That’s changing. As Government, authorities, and operators are aligning on a shared direction for the future of the #ticketing ecosystem, there is also a growing consensus on a clearer approach built on a set of proven principles: 💰 Account Based Ticketing for the best pricing calculation 💳 Contactless and digital payments as a default, with inclusive alternatives 🏝️ 🌉 An “islands and bridges” model that supports both distinct local ticketing solutions ('islands') and their interconnection for longer distance journeys ('bridges') ⛓️ A digital spine that allows local systems to remain flexible while still working together nationally These approaches are already working internationally and are grounded in real passenger needs. They reduce friction, improve accessibility, and restore trust in public transport, while providing authorities with high quality, privacy protected data. The ambition is set. The feasibility is proven and customer-focused. Now is the time to act. How do we make integrated regional ticketing an everyday reality? 👇 hubs.ly/Q04dfkzr0 #Cubic #RegionalTicketing #PublicTransport #PublicTransit #ContactlessPayments #AccountBasedTicketing

It’s interesting to see how small changes can greatly improve a #rider’s day-to-day experience. What stands out with CTA’s pilot Divvy bike offer for the pass holders isn’t just the added Divvy credit. It’s how simple the experience becomes for the rider. 🚇 ➡️ 🚴 With the 30-day pass, that extra bike credit shows up as a natural extension of the journey, not a separate step to figure out. It’s one less decision, one less barrier, and just another option that’s already there when you need it. For riders, that means more flexibility in how a trip comes together. Maybe it’s the last mile home, a quicker connection between stops, or just choosing a more enjoyable way to finish the trip. Bike share becomes part of the flow, not a separate plan. That kind of integration is easy to overlook, but it’s what makes multimodal travel feel intuitive – where switching between transit and bike is less about planning and more about simply moving. 👉 hubs.ly/Q04fk2p30 #Cubic #FarePayments #Illinois #PublicTransit #Bikes #Scooters

Public transport only succeeds when people are confident using it. And #ticketing should never be the hardest part of any journey. When fares are confusing, fragmented or unfair, ticketing feels like a gamble, and people simply opt out. Agencies with regional travel feel this impact even more intensely than others. While local smart and pay-as-you-go systems exist, they are inconsistent, siloed by geography, and shaped by decades of piecemeal change rather than a unified framework. As integrated regional ticketing gains momentum and the vision becomes clearer, the challenge is turning strategy into delivery at pace and at scale. The moment for real delivery has finally arrived. Then what needs to happen next?

💡 Here's a challenge for transit agencies: How do you embrace digital payments without leaving #riders behind? Account-based payment processing offers undeniable advantages — from contactless payments and fare capping to better data insights and operational savings. But with millions of households unbanked or underbanked, transit equity can't be an afterthought. The solution? Thoughtful implementation that meets riders where they are: ✅ Expanding off-board cash collection through retail partnerships and community events ✅ Creating flexible fare policies with entitlements and concessions ✅ Using payment data to identify and serve underserved communities ✅ Implementing emergency fare solutions to build trust ✅ Partnering with employers, schools, and payment networks Transit is essential. Payment systems should be inclusive. Then what steps should you take to ensure both #innovation and #equity through account-based payment? 👇 hubs.ly/Q04cKr020 #Cubic #FareCollection #AccountBasedTicketing #PublicTransit #PublicTransport
