Who won: ITSO Standards Update Contract - Cubic

About this contract

The Department of Transport (DfT) has commissioned RDG to develop and deliver ITSO on Mobile and industry compliance with an updated ITSO specification (V2.1.5) for ticket retail and acceptance with TOCs and their supply chain. ITSO is one of three main ticketing technologies used by rail and other public transport (primarily bus and tram) within England, Scotland and Wales to offer digital (non-paper) ticketing for the benefit of passengers. The government's Plan for Rail White Paper sets out a plan to 'work with ... operators to continue the roll-out of digital ticketing on smartphones across the network... (and) bring forward benefits for passengers (of) contactless journeys'. To achieve these objectives, it is vital that the government empowers the rail industry to implement ITSO on Mobile ticketing. This new type of digital ticket will enhance the current range of ticketing options, providing customers with more choice and allowing the industry to plan for the retirement of magnetic stripe tickets. ITSO on Mobile ticketing combines the convenience of the highly successful smartphone-based eTickets with the speed and security of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. Featur
