eAccess delivers Super Bowl smart cards

Thursday, February 4, 2010

eAccess LLC, a subsidiary of Cubic Corp., announced that it has produced several thousand Super Bowl Commemorative EASY Cards for Miami-Dade Transit.

The NFL-sanctioned commemorative cards went on sale Feb. 1 and are being sold while supplies last from now until game day on Feb. 7.

The commemorative cards, which sport the official NFL and Super Bowl XLIV logos, are available for $5 at designated EASY Card sales outlets in the greater Miami area.

Passengers simply add value to the cards and tap them on a validator before boarding their bus or train.

Cubic Transportation Systems, another Cubic subsidiary, developed and delivered Miami-Dade Transit’s smart-card based fare collection system. The fare collection system entered service in October 2009, and is now operational across 22 Metrorail stations and in more than 800 buses. [end]
