Cubic Transportation Systems launches flexible
suite of platforms, including intuitive fare payment, multi-modal
trip planning, real-time data and loyalty incentives for riders,
transit agencies and mobility service providers
Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced its Cubic
Transportation Systems (CTS) business division launched Umo™, a
fully-integrated suite of platforms for riders, transit agencies
and mobility service providers to complement its existing portfolio
of transportation technology.
Umo is a flexible suite of products that enables riders to
conveniently pay fares and plan trips across public and private
modes, earn rewards for riding public transit and access real-time
information to optimize their mobility experience.
Designed to give riders the ability to travel safely, seamlessly
and stress-free around their city or town, Umo simplifies travel by
integrating all of a region’s transportation options, from buses,
trains, trams and ferries to rideshare, scooters and bikes, in one
place. Umo’s scalable platform-based approach is designed to
benefit agencies of all sizes from the smallest bus operator to
larger towns and cities. Large and mega-cities also benefit with
Umo’s suite of platforms complementing their existing fare
collection systems with options including enhanced multi-modal
journey planning, next generation mobile applications, digital
loyalty and rewards, operator intelligence, passenger information
and a mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) platform.
“Cities are undergoing a paradigm shift for transportation, with
COVID-19 capping a decade in which the transit ecosystem fractured
into a complex landscape of new private modes alongside public
networks,” said Mick Spiers, general manager of Umo. “With Umo, our
vision is to improve quality of life in towns and cities around the
world through optimized mobility. Our platform is accessible to all
types of travelers and provides the tools people need to travel
without congestion, without delays and ultimately, without
stress.”
“Umo is a single multi-agency platform. All customers connect
and consume the service in a subscription-based model, much the
same as you connect to services such as Spotify, Netflix or Office
365,” added Spiers.
“Umo provides our riders with an easy-to-use platform for
engagement with public transportation that simultaneously offers
accessibility and trip-planning information across private modes,”
said Alan Bright, chief financial officer of Shreveport Area
Transit System (SporTran). “As cities everywhere look to recover
lost transit ridership after a pandemic-induced decline, Cubic’s
technologies are critical in helping us do that by delivering an
intuitive, streamlined experience.”
Umo: Your Travel
Companion
Umo comprises six distinct travel solutions, each one a powerful
standalone tool that becomes even more productive when combined
with other offerings in the Umo platform. Riders can access Umo
products through the convenient and easy-to-use Umo mobile app or
contactless bank or metro card. The platform includes:
- Umo App: A colorful, user friendly experience with
best-in-class multimodal trip-planning and fare payment
capabilities all in one app. Developed in partnership with
Moovit.
- Umo Pass: An account-based fare collection platform for
transit agencies that reduces the cost burden of traditional fare
collection and makes it easier for riders to pay through various
touchless options, including both electronic payment and
cash-preferred riders.
- Umo Pay: Provides a simplified approach for allowing
transit agencies of all sizes to accept contactless scheme cards
(Mastercard, Visa and American Express) as payment on buses and at
railway gates.
- Umo Rewards: A loyalty program that incentivizes riders
to engage with public transit and their communities by rewarding
frequent, safe and congestion-reducing travel behaviors. Riders
also earn rewards through engagement with sponsored content from
Umo partners, which can provide a new revenue stream for transit
agencies.
- Umo IQ: Enables transit agencies to monitor and manage
their vehicle fleet, and deliver accurate, real-time travel
information to riders’ phones and digital displays at transit stops
to maximize travel efficiency.
- Umo MaaS: A marketplace that brings together public and
private mobility operators and provides connected journey options
that are tailored to the preference of the traveler.
Product Rollout 2021
The first Umo products, Umo App and Umo Pass, will be available
in 15 markets across the U.S. in the coming weeks. Several
agencies, including Shreveport, LA; Skagit County, WA; and Victor
Valley, CA go live this week. Contactless readers will be installed
on buses and in subway entrances in 16 additional markets—including
Raleigh-Durham, NC and Ventura County, CA—in the spring of
2021.
The next products to launch will be Umo IQ, integrated within
the Umo App across 100 cities around the world, and Umo
Rewards—which will be made available first to existing Umo Pass and
IQ customers.
