RSS378 Cubic Transportation Systems and 1466 Transport for London’s (TfL) contactless bankcard payment system are the proud recipients of two prestigious awards for Outstanding Project at the 2015 UK Rail Industry Awards, followed by Most Innovative Transport Project at the London Transport Awards.

Launched in 2012, the contactless bankcard system was extended in 2014 to cover London’s entire transit network – including Tube, rail, and bus and tram services. The success of the contactless payment project in London is best represented by the 500,000 contactless journeys made every weekday.

TfL’s director of Customer Experience, Shashi Verma said, “I am delighted the work we have done with Cubic to deliver contactless bankcard payments across transport in London has been recognised with these latest awards.”

John Hill, managing director of Cubic Transportation Systems in Europe said bringing contactless bankcard payment to London was the result of a successful collaboration with TfL and years of research and planning.
