378 Cubic Transportation Systems is to provide a mobile service for rail and bus travel planning and ticketing for 4269 Nordhessischer VerkehrsVerbund (NVV). Established in 1995, NVV coordinates 26 public transport operators managing and serving 84 train stations and 5,608 bus stops across 100 towns and surrounding rural areas of Northern Hessen. It is one of three authorities providing public transportation in the German state of Hessen. With agreements already in place with Rhein-Main Verkehrsverbund and Rhein-Neckar Verkehrsverbund, the announcement represents a major step towards the goal of a unified mobile ticketing system encompassing all modes of public transport across the state, the first such scheme in Germany.

Cubic has customised the mobile ticketing service for NVV to ensure the product meets their objectives. As a result, the mobile ticketing solution will integrate with the existing NVV journey planner app so that passengers can receive travel updates and buy their tickets from one source. Additionally, the payment service-interface on the app will enhance the way in which customers purchase tickets. They can either register their credit or debit card details or invoice the cost to their mobile phone bill, an option particularly advantageous for less frequent commuters and tourists.
