Cubic Transportation Systems is suing LA Metro seeking to block the agency from releasing what Cubic contends is confidential pricing information the vendor supplied to justify costs for their sole-source contract. Cubic argues it was “normal practice” to provide the “secret” data in advance of such contracts with the agency. LA Metro may not see it that way.

Cubic Transportation Systems contends in recent court filings that it would “surely lose future contracts” to competitors if Los Angeles Metro follows through with its purported plans to release what Cubic argues is a trove of confidential cost and pricing information.
Cubic made the arguments in a lawsuit filed Jan. 28 in California Superior Court against LA Metro, seeking to block the agency from disclosing certain information related to its $66.4 million sole-source contract approved last year by the agency.
