Vendor Scheidt & Bachmann is believed to have lost a major contract it was awarded in 2021 to overhaul the fare system of Baltimore and the surrounding metropolitan area by the U.S. state of Maryland, Mobility Payments has learned.
Multiple sources told Mobility Payments the state terminated the contract, which was expected to be worth $63.6 million over 14 years. Neither the Baltimore-based Maryland Transit Administration, which is part of the state Department of Transportation, nor Germany-based Scheidt & Bachmann’s U.S. subsidiary, confirmed the cancellation of the contract. They also did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
