Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) selected Systra Consulting Inc. to provide design services during deployment of the agency’s communications-based train control (CBTC) system. Systra will support BART as the agency modernizes aging and obsolete train control equipment. “This is one of the most complex CBTC modernization programs in North America,” Systra officials said in a press release. 

Masabi launched a mobile ticketing application for EMT Valencia in Spain. The EMTicket app allows rail and bus passengers to purchase and display tickets directly on their smartphones, and validate fares with no contract. With the introduction of EMTicket, Valencia becomes the first city in Spain to phase out cash payments in favor of contactless payment options, Masabi officials said in a press release.
