Australian transit authority TransLink recently began rolling out the first phase of an integrated ticketing and revenue management system provided by Cubic Transportation Systems Inc.

In 2003, TransLink — which operates transit service in Queensland — awarded a contract to Cubic to design, build, operate and maintain the smart card-based ticketing system. During the program’s first phase, Cubic will install automatic fare collection technology — including central computer and back office systems, ticket vending machines, fare gates and rail ticket office terminals — at five rail stations.

The system ultimately will enable passengers to use a single smart card for the region’s various transportation services.
