Cubic to showcase One Account platform at London conference

378 Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS) will demonstrate its account-based ticketing and open-payment platforms and new mobile technologies at the Transport Ticketing Global conference in London from the 23-24 January 2018. The presentation is aimed at exhibiting strategies for increasing efficiencies for transportation operators and convenience and accessibility for travellers.

Called the One Account platform, the solution is driven by Cubic's back office that integrates account-based ticketing, closed-loop smart cards and open-loop bankcard payments on a single, cloud-based and open platform. Additionally, it aims to manage demand, reduces fare collection costs and open new revenue streams.

John Pickworth, business development director of Europe, CTS, said: “One Account provides a single point of payment through a traveller’s registered online account to manage fares across all transportation modes. For bus and rail it allows users to simply tap and go with a credit or debit card that is already in their wallet or mobile phone, without the need for physical smart cards or stopping at a machine for top-up. This is an exciting proposition delivering guaranteed best fares and an improved travel experience for customers.”
