Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), a unit of Cubic Corporation, announced a USD 40.3 million contract extension from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) New York City Transit (NYCT) for software programming and maintenance support for the agency’s MetroCard Automated Fare Collection (AFC) system. The support will be provided on an as-needed basis until the system is decommissioned, which is expected to occur in 2022.
The contract extension will include equipment purchases to support continued rollout of the Select Bus Service, an upgrade to system security standards, and a purchase of turnstiles and end cabinets to allow for fare control area improvements supporting various station-related programs. Additionally, new equipment for the Cortlandt Street Station project, software and technical support services for the AFC system, and ongoing state-of-good-repair work will be supported.
CTS designed and delivered the MetroCard system to the New York MTA in 2003. Since that time, Cubic has continued to support the MTA through various projects including the introduction of the Select Bus Service, the Second Avenue Subway Project, the Number 7 line extension, creation of Barclays Center transit hub, the South Ferry Terminal, Tompkinsville Station, the Fulton Street Transit Center, the Westchester Bee-Line and the recovery post-Superstorm Sandy, among many others.
