Cubic to Deliver Intelligent Travel Platform to Manchester

Cubic Transportation Systems on May 7 announced that it has been successful in its bid to deliver Transport for Greater Manchester’s (TfGM) new Optimised Public Transport Integration System (OPTIS).

OPTIS will contribute specifically to the delivery of two projects within the Smarter Travel package: Travel Information and Network Efficiency, the latter involving integration with TfGM’s AToM (Advanced Traffic Management) solution.

The announcement is the culmination of two years’ work during which Cubic has established partnerships with specialist companies to deliver to TfGM’s requirements. Cloud Amber (management of static and real-time travel information), SilverRail (advanced journey planning) and MXData (app development and user interface) will all contribute to the delivery of OPTIS, with Cubic being the systems integrator.
