I.T.S. Contract Awarded

I didn't think that the partnership with Hewlett-Packard was anything new? Have the R.P.A. not been working with them for a long time already on this project? |

Ah righty! Cheers for clearing that one up. Seemed to be a bit of confusion about this over on archiseek anyway..

Agreed sean - if all is wanted is integrated tickets you can do that a lot more cheaply. All the smartcards in the world won't make DB,BE,IE,RPA and the private dudes play nice - for that you need a Regional Transport Agency with balls. You could go all the way to a Vancouver Translink model and have them run roads and toll bridges too!

Delving into the details, it would appear that the go-live date has been pushed back again to mid-2011.
