Cubic Transportation Systems

Dino Beverakis, Pete Lapinski, and Tim Mercer-Cook spent the week at Singapore Urban Mobility Week (SUMW), where global industry leaders dived into real transport challenges cities face every day. Three themes hit home this year: making AI-powered transport work reliably in dense cities, transforming rail and bus systems through digital innovation, and decarbonising transport without compromising service and operational optimisation. The future of urban mobility isn't about developing technologies in isolation. It's about integrating intelligent systems, modern infrastructure, and sustainable energy into solutions that work for cities and riders alike. The best solutions emerge when governments, operators, and technology partners collaborate with purpose. Grateful for the insights shared and the partnerships strengthened. The conversations continue. #SUMW2026 #Singapore #UrbanMobility #FEnX #FareGates #Cubic #FareCollection #PublicTransport #IntelligentTransport #SustainableMobility

One vision: making transit inclusive, intuitive, and accessible for everyone.   See you there!   #TTNA26 #Cubic #OpenPayments #AccountBasedTicketing #Washington #DC #PublicTransit

We enjoyed connecting with 90 students from @LSBU London South Bank University Sixth Form, sharing insights about apprenticeships and the opportunities that await after sixth form.   We explored apprenticeship pathways, application processes, and how to find the right apprenticeship option after sixth form. It was rewarding to share guidance with the next generation as they consider hands-on career paths that blend learning with meaningful work experience.   Grateful for the opportunity to provide guidance and answer questions about choosing the right apprenticeship journey.   #Cubic #UK #Apprenticeship #PublicTransport #Careers

📍 Singapore Urban Mobility Week with the Cubic team! Dino Beverakis, Tim Mercer-Cook, and Peoter Lapinski are HERE enjoying their time to connect with global industry peers, exchange insights, and explore the latest thinking on the future of urban transport, from deploying new mobility technologies safely and at scale to making existing systems more efficient and resilient.   Great to be part of this! 😊   #SUMW2026 #Singapore #UrbanMobility #FEnX #FareGates #Cubic #FareCollection #PublicTransport #IntelligentTransport #SustainableMobility

Two people walked up to FEnX. One paid. The other tried to sneak through right behind them. FEnX wasn't having it.   🚨 Beeping. Red lights. Operator alert. Busted.   Because tailgating might work at a barbecue, but not at our fare gates. Nice try though!   #Cubic #FEnX #FareGates #FareEvasion #PublicTransit #PublicTransport

Some journeys span decades. Raj Patel, our Principal Project Installation Engineer, was there when the first gateline at High Wycombe station went into service. He was there again when FEnX officially opened, marking the latest chapter in a partnership with @chilternrailway that has lasted nearly three decades. But this story is about the people behind the gates. For Raj and everyone who were there from the start, this moment was unforgettable. It is the result of teams who worked through cold and heat, managed complex logistics, and solved every technical challenge. They collaborated, adapted, and got the job done. For Cubic and Chiltern Railways employees, station staff, and delivery partners, this wasn't just another project. It was a full-circle moment. A testament to the power of partnership, persistence, and the people who make it all happen. ❤️ Two generations of gates. One incredible joint team. 🎉 #UK #PublicTransport #UKRail #FareGates #Buckinghamshire #England

When an apprentice asks why a three-day process is standard practice, the veteran explains it based on contractual considerations. When a researcher points out new possibilities, the operations engineer looks into whether they can be implemented. Although neither of them has all the answers, together they find the solution. Experience and fresh perspectives should work together, not in spite of each other, but they make each other stronger. At Cubic in the UK, we pair apprentices with engineers who have over 25 years of experience. We bring AI PHD talents from UK educational institutions to work with professionals who understand large-scale deployment. We're creating space for cross-generational collaboration. There will be friction. It will question assumptions, refine ideas, and promote growth. That's exactly what we need. That's the bet we're making: on both, not either.

Keeping passengers and transport workers safe matters across every network and city. Today in #London, we took that message to 10 Downing Street and handed in the recommendations from the Cubic Transport Safety Summit. Kevin Maslin, our SVP and Managing Director, EMEA, handed in the recommendations with Jo Field OBE from Women in Transport, Jamie Hassall from the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS), and some of our field service engineers, who work on these networks every day. Cubic hosted the summit at the London Transport Museum on 8 September, where representatives from 26 organisations, including train operators, police, unions, policymakers, and frontline staff, came together to confront violence, fear and fragmented data on transport networks. The evidence from the UK shows why this cannot wait. Assaults on passengers and members of the public on Britain’s railways reached 13,464 in 2025–26, and assaults on rail workers on mainline services rose 12% to 11,289. Our recommendations set out three priorities: 1. Government leadership and accountability, including a standalone offense for assaulting a transport worker, a DfT-led national safety strategy within 12 months with a named ministerial owner, and a review of how data and intelligence are shared across the sector. 2. Consistent operator action on escalation, reporting, physical safety, staff support and passenger education. 3. A common framework for sustained, sector-wide change, with measurable action and clear ownership. No transport network faces this challenge alone, and no single organisation can solve it. We are planning an event early next year, along with further regional sessions, to keep the conversation going with our partners. If you are working on transport safety anywhere in the world, please get in touch so we can hear from you.

An organization's biggest risk isn't having too much experience. It's failing to use it to prepare for the next generation. Progress and transformation don't mean replacing the past. They mean keeping what matters, questioning what no longer serves us, and creating routes for new talent to contribute while preserving the institutional knowledge that gives us a competitive advantage. We're building a company that's agile, adaptable, and forward-looking for the EMEA region. One where today's experts help develop tomorrow's leaders. One where the next generation benefits from wisdom passed on, and experienced leaders are inspired rather than intimidated by new ideas. Kevin Maslin, our SVP and Managing Director for EMEA, shares his perspective on building a company where every generation matters 👇 hubs.ly/Q04C2TrX0 #Cubic #HumanResources #TalentAcquisition #OrganizationalTransformation #BusinessStrategy #PublicTransit #PublicTransport

In public transit, there's a difference between solving a problem and truly caring about the person behind it. Our customer service reps don't just close tickets. They close the gap between confusion and clarity, between stranded and safe, between a bad day and a better one. From helping a customer recover funds after a machine error to teaching someone how to use a fare system so they never feel lost again, these small acts of care create the real impact. It's not always about speed. Sometimes it's about taking the time to help. Behind every resolved issue is someone who chose to do more than what was required. They took the time. They showed patience. They made the journey easier. These are the moments our team went above and beyond.

🎉 Proud moment: Cubic and @chilternrailway have been shortlisted for the @its_uk_org Public Transport Award! FEnX ticket gates at High Wycombe station are being recognized for bringing together fare revenue protection, passenger safety, and inclusive access in one solution. Nine new gates now serve High Wycombe, making it the UK’s first station with a complete FEnX gateline. The installation brings breakthrough-resistant, accessible design, intelligent sensing, and computer vision to create a safer, more responsive experience. The gates detect movement through each aisle, distinguish valid journeys from tailgating or push-through attempts, slow or remain open when passengers need more time, and provide clear feedback through lights, audio, and on-gate messages without requiring staff to intervene physically. Beyond the technology, this project represents close collaboration across product design, installation, station operations, passenger communication, training and assurance. Thrilled with what we've built together with Chiltern Railways and looking forward to the award winner announcement at the ITS UK President’s Dinner on Tuesday 10 November! 👉 hubs.ly/Q04BjlX10 #UK #PublicTransport #UKRail #FareGates #TicketGates #Buckinghamshire #England

For too long, operators had to choose between protecting fare revenue and improving accessibility. There's the gate that ends the compromise. FEnX. #FEnX ticket gates are now operating at High Wycombe station—the first UK deployment of this next-generation technology. Full-length paddles that deter fare evasion. Intelligent sensors that slow down in real time when someone stops. A completely flat floor with no ramp. No barriers to access. Behind it sits FLARE, our computer vision platform that spots potential fare evasion and sends real-time alerts to staff. Together, they give operators the insight to protect revenue and sharpen operations without sacrificing what passengers need most. Revenue protection, accessibility, passenger experience, and operational efficiency—now all in one gate.

What does "going the extra mile" really mean in customer service? We asked our service representatives across global programs to share their perspectives. Their answers reveal something powerful: going the extra mile isn't just about solving problems. It's about listening with intention, anticipating needs before they're voiced, and turning frustrating moments into positive experiences. It's taking that extra minute to explain clearly, showing genuine care when someone's having a difficult day, and making sure customers feel heard, respected, and supported from start to finish. These are real insights from the people on the front lines, handling thousands of contacts each month and making transit work for riders every day. Here's what going the extra mile means to them. 👇 hubs.ly/Q04BbgL60 #Cubic #CustomerService #CustomerSupport #PublicTransit #PublicTransport
