This eliminates the need for customers to carry physical cards while riding public trains, subways and buses.

Cardholders can leverage Cubic’s Traveler app to manage the digital transit cards, load funds and also buy fare products.

The app will be available along with Apple Pay to allow easy reloading of funds and tickets purchase.

Cubic Transportation Systems president Matt Cole said: “This solution will benefit those who use public transportation for their daily commutes, as well as occasional journeys, by creating convenience and flexibility in their payment options and a seamless and frictionless experience as travellers move through the transit network.”
