- inferiorhuman 4y agoIf memory serves Cubic did the initial RFID readers for BART, after BART finally gave in and joined TransLink/Clipper. They were way slower than the readers every other transit agency used.
- iancarroll 4y agoCubic (still) runs and maintains Clipper as a whole, and most other systems like it in the US. They didn’t develop Clipper at first, but have been maintaining/upgrading it for most of its life. The support/call center is Cubic, most of the readers are built by Cubic, etc.
- inferiorhuman 4y agoRight. I don't remember the full rationale as to why Cubic was brought in, but I do remember BART dragging their feet on working with ERG and instead opted to go their own way (EZ Rider).
