Article Highlights
Cubic Transportation Systems is believed to have been short-listed for the Transport for New South Wales back-office contract, Mobility Payments has learned. The vendor is believed to have offered some concessions to help its proposal. Meanwhile, Hitachi Rail and some other vendors are believed to have failed to make the cut.
The Sydney procurement includes two separate components, an “ABT Solution,” which mainly calls for the new back office; and a “Bus Solution,” which focuses on vehicle tracking and driver management for the agency’s estimated 5,000-plus bus fleet. Cubic is believed to have only bid on the ABT Solution. Cubic did not immediately response to a request for comment.

Transport for New South Wales in Sydney has short-listed incumbent supplier Cubic Transportation Systems for its new back-office contract along with a second vendor, while Hitachi Rail and a few other suppliers are believed to have missed the cut, Mobility Payments has learned.
The fact that Cubic likely lost its valuable revenue-collection contract with Transport for London (Cubic filed suit last month to appeal TfL’s decision to award the contract to rival vendor Indra Systems), makes it even more critical for Cubic to win in Sydney.
