Nevis Technologies Surpasses 100,000 Smart Card Milestone for the Glasgow Subway

Nevis Technologies announced that it has issued more than 100,000 Bramble smartcards to travellers of the Glasgow Subway, which are designed to securely store tickets and travel data for pay-as-you-go journeys. A joint venture between Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), Scotland’s largest regional transport partnership, and Ecebs, a leader in smart technology for transportation recently acquired by Rambus, Nevis Technologies was formed to deliver secure, integrated smart ticketing to Scotland.

The Bramble smartcard is designed for use across multiple transportation systems and is compliant with the UK interoperable open standard known as ITSO. It replaces paper tickets and tokens to enable public transportation systems to offer convenience and ease-of-travel to their passengers. The smart ticketing system includes a back office Host Operating or Processor System (HOPS) delivered by Ecebs, card management system (CMS) and Bramble smartcards.
