Cubic will install the equipment and software necessary to fully integrate the Muni stations into the regional TransLink(R) smart card network managed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). TransLink allows riders to use one convenient card to travel on Muni and other public transportation systems in the Bay Area. Cubic also manages the TransLink system for MTC.
Cubic installed Muni's existing bus fare collection equipment 18 years ago. The company has had a presence in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years and also has a long-term relationship with the Bay Area Rapid Transit District. Cubic delivered BART's latest fare collection system, which began accepting the TransLink card in August 2009. Cubic is also delivering a new TransLink-capable back office system and upgrading the ticketing system on Muni's buses.
"This project is a great example of the use of federal stimulus dollars to create jobs and bring state-of-the-art technology to San Francisco," Mayor Gavin Newsom said in a Muni news release. "We need to re-invest in the infrastructure of the Muni system to fulfill the promise of our Transit First city."
"These new fare gates and TVMs will provide a tremendous benefit to our customers," said Nathaniel P. Ford Sr., Executive Director/CEO of San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, which operates Muni. "The new equipment will also help us increase the use of TransLink(R) on the Muni system, which will make it easier for everyone to take transit in the Bay Area."
