Cubic Transportation Systems scored poorly with its tender for Transport for London’s revenue-collection contract, contended the authority in its response to Cubic’s lawsuit. The ongoing suit seeks to overturn TfL’s decision to award the contract to another vendor, Indra Systems. The transport agency said it could have rejected Cubic’s tender on multiple grounds.
