Cubic Transportation Systems recognized for
unique partnership with Rail Delivery Group for the delivery of
innovative barcode ticketing program
Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced its Cubic
Transportation Systems (CTS) business division received the
“Excellence in Technology” award from the London Transport Awards
for its collaboration with the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) to
increase the delivery of mobile barcode tickets throughout the U.K.
The London Transport Awards recognize excellence in transport and
progress on innovative transport initiatives.
“We are very pleased to be awarded the ‘excellence in
technology’ honor alongside our partner Rail Delivery Group for
barcode ticketing,” said Laurent Eskenazi, acting president of
Cubic Transportation Systems. “We believe the barcode program has
laid a solid foundation for smart ticketing across the rail network
in the U.K. and will enable industry-wide innovation for years to
come.”
Cubic and RDG partnered to implement a barcode ticketing program
to meet the emerging needs of the digital world with a simple,
convenient and mobile solution. Cubic and RDG introduced a rail
ticket, in the form of a printable mobile ticket that can also be
loaded onto smartcards or mobile phones. Benefits of the smarter
system for travelers include easy access to digital tickets on any
mobile device, ability to change or replace lost tickets, more
personalized travel options and the ability to skip ticket
lines.
RDG is responsible for coordinating the project delivery; gating
improvements and installations; and enabling retail of barcode
tickets to potential routes. Cubic is responsible for supplying and
installing barcode readers to gates across the U.K. for
comprehensive coverage and providing customers with a convenient
and simple purchasing option.
The success of the program will lead to the introduction of over
3,100 handheld scanning devices, meaning that barcode tickets will
be accepted on more than 70 percent of routes in the country. Over
700 gates have received upgrades with barcode readers over the past
24 months for nine train operating companies as part of the barcode
program.
