Cubic to showcase One Account platform at London conference

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.”
