Cubic Transportation Systems is expected to win the major fare-system project from the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, or SEPTA, an up to $211 million deal to implement and operate the agency’s planned Key 2.0 system.
Update: SEPTA abruptly pulled a proposed resolution from the board agenda for the Dec. 19 meeting this week to approve Cubic, with a spokesman telling Mobility Payments only that “discussions about the proposal will continue between board members and SEPTA staff.” He did offer more details for the change. An earlier agenda (see page 17), as of last Thursday, Dec. 12, had the proposed resolution scheduled to go foward for a vote Dec. 19 with a recommendation to hire Cubic. There’s no evidence yet that the SEPTA staff has withdrawn that recommendation.
