Scotland’s population of roughly 5.3 million people is spread out over a diverse landscape of rural communities and cosmopolitan cities, presenting a unique challenge demanding solutions for both local residents and visitors alike. Of course, Scotland’s transportation system must be continuously maintained and upgraded to keep up with new technologies and the needs of the connected traveler.
For more than 20 years, Cubic has worked with Transport Scotland to deliver an efficient, cost-effective and sustainable transport system to serve Scotland’s daily commuters.
As the country’s national transport agency, Transport Scotland plays a vital role in advising the Scottish government on the most important policies for transport; by improving the nation’s connectivity through reliable transportation options, Transport Scotland aims to increase the overall sustainable economic growth for the country. And as the demands and needs of modern travelers evolve, Transport Scotland turns to Cubic to ensure that Scotland’s transportation system continues to deliver reliable, accessible, and safe results for the nation’s travelers.
