Under a contract awarded in 2013, Cubic was selected to build and integrate the bus hardware system that includes the on-board computer and bus location device for Bus Time. The open source customer information system delivers information on bus location and arrival time via several options including a desktop web map, a mobile web site and a text message-based service.
“It’s truly an honour to be on MTA’s team and to have been recognised by ITS-NY for this award,” said Steve Shewmaker, president of Cubic Transportation Systems. “The application of real-time information that travellers can use to make their journey experience more convenient and predictable is at the heart of intelligent transportation systems.”
