July 20 2016 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), a business unit of Cubic
Corporation (NYSE:CUB), today announced that more than one million
Compass Cards are now in use for Metro Vancouver’s public transit
users since its launch in 2015. Compass Card is the contactless
smart card payment system designed and integrated by Cubic for the
region’s transportation authority, TransLink. The system is also
processing more than 42 million card “taps” each month.
“Compass Card offers an entirely new transit experience for
Vancouver customers with its convenient, easy-to-use, safe and
secure system,” said Matt Cole, president of Cubic Transportation
Systems. “We are excited to achieve this milestone with TransLink
of exceeding one million cards in use. This not only demonstrates
the success and reliability of Vancouver’s Compass Card payment
system, but also the seamless and intermodal payment experience it
provides.”
“We’re pleased that our customers have so thoroughly embraced
the Compass Card throughout our phased rollout, and that we’ve been
able to provide them with a positive customer experience as we made
the transition,” said Lloyd Bauer, Vice President of the Compass
Project, TransLink. “This achievement shows that this complex
system is working successfully and starting to achieve the benefits
expected.”
Compass links all of TransLink’s services and fare products in
Metro Vancouver to a single payment system, including West Coast
Express, SkyTrain, SeaBus and buses – replacing more than 150
different tickets and passes with one easy-to-use, reloadable fare
card. Customers also have the option to register their Compass
Cards and manage their accounts online, giving them the added
convenience of loading their products online, signing up for
autoload on their card balance, as well as avoiding the hassle of
waiting in line at ticket vending machines.
In addition, Compass is supported by Cubic’s services and
operations, which provides the system infrastructure, back office,
call center, card fulfillment, distribution and field maintenance
services that operate with high reliability.
