The proposed award of a $211 million fare-system contract for Cubic Transportation Systems is back on the agenda for a board meeting of Philadelphia transit agency SEPTA scheduled for next week, where the award is expected to gain approval.
As Mobility Payments reported last month, SEPTA had abruptly pulled a similar agenda item a few days before the board’s regular December meeting, with an agency spokesman telling Mobility Payments only that “discussions about the proposal will continue between board members and SEPTA staff.”
