Our story

Modern transport systems need modern ticketing solutions.

Initially operators tried implementing bespoke systems, which were expensive to create, slow to deploy and hard to update. Newer Ticketing-as-a-Service (TaaS) solutions offered cheaper and superior tech features, but ignored customer experience.

At Kuba, we know that technology alone doesn’t create a great transit system. That’s why we combine 30+ years of transit experience with cutting-edge ticketing technology to deliver Clever-as-a-Service.

First principles

Start with the problem, not the solution.

We always seek the best solution to achieve an outcome and celebrate a fresh approach even when it fails.

Production over perfection

Innovation is born from experimentation.

We move quickly, we try new things and when it doesn’t work, we try again until it does.
