Fare Collection * USA - New Technology for New York City Buses
Cubic Receives $10 Million Contract to Provide Ones
New York,NY,USA -CNN Money -April 07, 2010: -- The MetroCard® system that Cubic designed and delivered to New York City Transit 17 years ago remains one of the top-performing fare collection systems in the world, processing more than 8 million transactions a day. By September, the system's reach will expand further when Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc., delivers 200 new advance-pay fare machines for Select Bus Service routes... Under a $10 million contract signed last year, Cubic will provide more than 200 MetroCard Fare Collectors to NYCT in an effort to speed bus service to handle increased ridership. Studies show that NYCT buses spend more than 20 percent of their time stopped waiting for passengers to board, transit officials say. With fewer stops, and dedicated traffic lanes and stoplights that change in the buses' favor, Select Bus Service routes are a cost-effective alternative to building new subways... Cubic's MetroCard Fare Collectors will let people use their MetroCard to pay before the bus arrives... (Photo from 4.bp.blogspot: new york metro card)Labels: fare collection technology
