In 2016, LECIP has delivered their first AFC system in the USA
market. Following this success of last year, LECIP has been awarded
their second AFC systems that will be delivered in the USA market
and provide convenience and reliable services for bus transit
passengers in the USA.
RVTD, located in Medford, Oregon, is a public transportation
provider operating 30 buses of nine routes. In order to improve the
quality of the system and replace old fare boxes with new ones,
LECIP will introduce a fare collection system to RVTD. Various
equipment and systems including fare boxes will be delivered from
early 2018, which will enhance the system of sales
information management, maintenance performance and ridership
data.
According to Akio Fujii, CEO and COO of LECIP Inc., “It is
an honor to have RVTD award the system to LECIP Inc. and I believe
RVTD has made the right decision as our system brings conveniences
and efficiencies to both RVTD and to their riders. Moreover, I
believe our commitment to support RVTD must have been one of the
decisive factor in making their choice and I appreciate it.
While we started to work on delivery of this project, our team
is in discussion with other transit authorities to further expand
our Farebox references. We are also capable of bringing different
solutions such as LED lighting, LED displays including destination
signage as a solutions provider for USA transit authorities. I am
aware it takes time to develop business as we are new in the
market, however, with our commitment to support the customers with
partnership, I am sure there will be more Transit Authorities who
choose our system in the near future.”
Sales Manager Dave Anderson states, “Many Transit Authorities
have invited LECIP into their operations for review and Farebox
demonstrations. They are considering LECIP as their next choice of
AFC for their 15-20 year life-cycle of a Farebox. Fareboxes are not
an annual purchase and the decision to make a Farebox is critical
to many management departments. Transit Agencies state the 'LECIP
Farebox is User-Friendly and revenue and ridership reporting is
customizable for management'. We are seeing many open doors and
invitations from CEO’s, CFO’s, and Transit Directors, Maintenance,
Revenue and IT management. Transit Agencies have shown excitement
for another choice in the USA Farebox industry and our Farebox is
built in the USA”.
Based on the successes in Japan and Asia over the past 64 years,
LECIP is the market leader in Japan and Asia. LECIP realizes
developing the AFC business includes smart card readers, fare
boxes, and ticket printers, as well as LED lighting and LCD
displays for USA public transportation market.
