We are very excited to announce that the world’s largest open payment system for transportation is now live! This is the first major step in our ambitious project to enable London’s entire transportation network to accept payment via contactless credit and debit cards. 

 Cubic Corporation has acquired a Special Operation Forces training business from NEK Advanced Securities Group, Inc. The acquisition consists of more than 200 highly skilled and experienced operational and technical experts that will become employees of Cubic and significantly expand the company’s current knowledge base in advanced tactical training, surveillance /counter surveillance, mission planning, and personnel recovery. NEK has been a leading provider of advanced and specialized courses for the United States Special Operations Command. 

One piece of our Nextcity vision is the ability to pay for all modes of transportation with one form of media.  This includes paying for train, ferry and bus fare, parking, tolls and even bike and car shares.  There are some cities that are taking steps in the right direction to make payment integration seamless between modes. 

 Today for the first time ever, London transit users can use a “wave & pay” contactless bank card to pay for their bus fares in London. It costs the same as using an Oyster Card. The “wave & pay” card is a solution to the frequent problem of users running to board a bus only to find that their contactless, preloaded “Oyster Card” has run out of credit.

 Our financial system is dramatically changing, and cash is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.  We live in a digital world where we are beginning to see a shift away from paper currency and coins towards electronic methods of payment.
