Modeshift and ITSMAX Partner to Launch Validating Fareboxes, Advancing Modeshift's Fully-Integrated, 360-Degree Fare Collection System
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Modeshift, a leading provider of cloud-based fare collection, announces a strategic partnership with Canadian intelligent transportation technology leader ITSMAX Solutions Inc. Together, the companies are launching new validating fareboxes and a seamless deployment and maintenance program, which is fully integrated with Modeshift's complete, 360-degree fare collection platform. Legacy fare systems have long burdened agencies with unreliable hardware, sluggish deployments, poor customer service that leaves them waiting days or weeks for support and siloed, proprietary software that's difficult to maintain or integrate. Often built before today's Internet of Things (IoT) standards, these outdated systems can't easily communicate with one another, making agencies vulnerable to disruptions whenever one component fails or updates. The Modeshift/ITSMAX partnership addresses these challenges by combining future-ready validating fareboxes with a fully integrated, interoperable platform, backed by a responsive, easy-to-work-with team that delivers fast deployments, tool-free maintenance and dependable service so agencies can focus on moving riders, not fixing broken systems. 'Legacy farebox providers have built their business on outdated, inflexible systems,' said Miroslav Katsarov, CEO of Modeshift. 'We're changing that model by combining cloud-native innovation with reliable and proven hardware and finally giving agencies a modern option that can handle every form of payment, provide real-time data and reduce operating costs. This partnership with ITSMAX is about giving transit systems choice, adaptability and control.' Fast operation and easy maintenance are central to the design of the new validating fareboxes. Designed for quick, on-site serviceability, they significantly reduce system downtime and keep vehicles in operation. The Validating Fareboxes Feature: Fast, secure cash handling to reduce boarding time Ergonomic touch-screen interface for seamless user experience Support for all payment types: cash, smartcards, mobile QRs and paper tickets/transfers Integrated spatial intelligence and real-time data sync Modular design for tool-free maintenance and minimal downtime All major farebox components are modular and can be swapped out in minutes, minimizing the need for specialized tools or lengthy repairs. With fewer moving parts, the likelihood of mechanical failure is dramatically reduced. Problem components can be swapped out by maintenance staff allowing the vehicle to return to service immediately—while repairs can be handled off-site without disrupting daily operations. 'New intelligent transportation hardware and software solutions must be integrated, interoperable and simpler to maintain,' said Cyril Robitaille, President of ITSMAX. 'We are excited to be partnering with Modeshift with whom we share this vision to deliver innovative Fare Collection solutions.' ITSMAX Solutions' field-proven devices will now be manufactured in the United States at a new, locally based facility, following Buy America compliance, supporting domestic job creation and reducing supply chain dependencies for U.S. transit agencies. By adding cash fare capability with ITSMAX's validating fareboxes, Modeshift provides a comprehensive alternative to legacy systems, empowering transit agencies of all sizes to adopt future-ready, multimodal fare collection without sacrificing ease, compliance or operational control. Combined with Modeshift's account-based ticketing platform, mobile app, real-time passenger information system and CAD/AVL, the fareboxes advance a system that is intuitive for riders and powerful for operators. Modeshift's end-to-end solution can be scaled up or down to fit the needs of rural transit systems, mid-sized cities and large metropolitan agencies alike, positioning it as a new standard for cost-effective, future-ready transit infrastructure. The new fareboxes are currently deploying with two transit agencies in the USA. For more information, visit and About Modeshift Modeshift, Inc. is a technology company that helps transit agencies modernize their user-facing technology and the underlying infrastructure to improve efficiency, increase ridership and provide adequate, sustainability-oriented service. It is the only all-in-one digital mobility infrastructure platform that also gives the transit industry the tools to reduce their carbon emissions and aim for sustainability.

A Once-in-a-Decade Opportunity: 1 Super Growth Stock Down 48% to Buy Right Now and Hold for a Decade
Shares of software-as-a-service platform Nice remain nearly 50% below their 2021 highs. However, the company's leading position and burgeoning AI sales point to a promising future ahead. With its valuation near a decade low, Nice is buying back shares -- and investors should consider them too. 10 stocks we like better than Nice › While buying a roughed-up stock "on the dip" seems like a no-brainer, the unfortunate truth is that many of these embattled businesses may actually prove to be "falling knives." However, if investors prioritize high-quality, market-leading, innovative companies, buying the dip can occasionally make perfect sense. I'd argue this is especially true when the stock in question is trading at what appears to be a once-in-a-decade valuation, which is the case for the business we will examine today. Operating in three industry verticals buoyed by long-term megatrends, Nice (NASDAQ: NICE) and its artificial intelligence (AI) innovations could prove to be an excellent buy-the-dip candidate, especially since its stock is down 48% from its highs. Nice is a leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, providing AI-powered solutions to enterprises via its cloud platform. The company primarily serves three areas: Customer engagement (About 75% of sales): Nice offers end-to-end SaaS solutions that help clients automate their customer service operations while augmenting their human workforce with agentic AI. The cornerstone of this effort is its center-as-a-service (CCaaS) platform, which Forrester ranks as one of the leaders in this niche. Financial crime and compliance (15% of sales): Nice's AI-embedded tools help corporate customers battle fraud, money laundering, and suspicious activity while providing compliance and surveillance services. It uses machine learning to parse through mountains of financial data and AI to automate more mundane tasks. Many top U.S. and European banks use this service. Public safety and justice (10% of sales): In its smallest segment, Nice helps with emergency response optimization and digital evidence management. Nice and Axon Enterprise are the two leaders in this niche, according to IDC, acting like the Coca-Cola and PepsiCo to the public safety and justice market. Nice's offerings are used by 85% of U.S. and Canadian cities and 94% of the United Kingdom's police stations. Thanks to its leadership in these three niches -- and counting 85 of the Fortune 100 enterprises as customers -- Nice is an undeniable SaaS leader with sales in over 150 countries. Yet, despite this powerful presence, the company's growth story could still be in its early chapters. With fraud and money laundering schemes increasing in complexity by the day, digital evidence growing exponentially, and AI providing a tailwind in each market, Nice could be positioned for decades of growth if it can successfully harness the power of AI. Far and away, the most important thing for investors to watch going forward with Nice will be whether it remains an AI innovator, not a disruptee. The company is off to a tremendous start so far, with AI solutions at the forefront of its platform. In 2024, 97% of Nice's CXone Mpower contracts worth $1 million or more included AI offerings. This figure grew to 100% as of the first quarter of 2025, demonstrating that the company is, if nothing else, AI-first. Furthermore, while overall cloud revenue grew 12% in Q1, Nice's AI and self-service sales grew by 39%. This data point will be paramount to watch going forward, as this outsize growth suggests that Nice is leading the AI innovation race, rather than getting disrupted by it. Similarly, its cloud net retention rate of 111% highlights additional customer "buy-in." Measuring the spending of existing customers from last year to this year, this 11% increase indicates that the company is successfully upselling and cross-selling its new solutions, most likely AI-powered offerings. Despite reporting top-notch AI sales growth, Nice's shares slid following its Q1 earnings, mainly due to what the market deemed weak guidance. This drop leaves the company trading at just 14 times free cash flow (FCF). This price-to-FCF (P/FCF) ratio of 14 is near a decade-long low and is almost half of the company's historical average of 27. Even accounting for the dilutive effects of stock-based compensation, Nice trades at just 18 times FCF, far below the S&P 500's average P/FCF ratio, which is somewhere north of 30. Perhaps the biggest signal that Nice's valuation today may be a once-in-a-decade opportunity comes from management currently buying back shares at the fastest rate in the company's history. Nice is armed with more than $1 billion in net cash, compared to its market capitalization of $11 billion, so it could easily continue buying back shares at what looks like an incredible valuation. Altogether, Nice's combination of leadership positioning, AI integration, and discounted valuation makes it a super growth stock to buy on the dip. However, it'll be of the utmost importance to keep an eye on Nice's AI sales in each quarterly update and ensure the company remains the AI innovator, not the disruptee.

Carney Unveils Infrastructure Boost as Trump Targets Canada's Economy
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that his government would push legislation to speed up "nation-building" infrastructure projects across the country, following a surge in tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump targeting Canadian goods. Carney outlined the strategy after what he called a "very productive" meeting with provincial and territorial leaders that focused on accelerating approval for key projects, according to the BBC. Newsweek contacted the Canadian government for more information on the policy via email. Why It Matters The U.S. remains Canada's top trading partner, absorbing 75 percent of its exports, but the Trump administration's newly imposed steel, aluminum and auto tariffs have threatened decades of economic integration. Canada's new infrastructure projects are designed to diversify its trade away from the U.S. and make the country more independent economically in response to what Carney described as an "unjustified and unlawful" U.S. trade policy. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Oval Office of the White House on May 6, 2025, in Washington. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Oval Office of the White House on May 6, 2025, in Washington. Getty Images What To Know Carney's proposal, discussed at a summit with the country's premiers on Monday, would streamline the approval process for major national projects already under consideration. The projects, which range from pipelines and nuclear reactors to infrastructure like railways and airports, are designed to make Canada, in Carney's words, "the strongest economy in the G7." Carney said the new project framework would draw proposals from provincial governments and private-sector actors. At the summit, Canada's premiers were united on the policy despite political differences, with Ontario Premier Doug Ford calling it "the best meeting we've had in 10 years" and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, previously critical of the liberal government, expressing encouragement about the new approach. The push for internal development comes after Trump's second administration has taken an aggressive trade stance toward Canada. Trump has ramped up tariffs while also claiming it should become the 51st U.S state, a suggestion that Carney and other Canadian politicians have rejected. "We're in the process of redefining our relationship with the United coming weeks and months will be critical," Carney said on Monday. What People Are Saying Candace Laing, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, told Newsweek: "Ultimately, the end of this trade war with the U.S. will not come through the courts. It will come when we have negotiated a durable, new agreement on trade that is trusted and respected by all involved. "Currently, there remains sectoral tariffs as well as other trade barriers on the table. Businesses in Canada and globally are awaiting a real and complete reprieve from trade disruptions, looking for lasting security, stability and resilience. The impact of tariffs continues to work its way through every level of the economy, leaving businesses and workers to face the punishing realities of uncertainty." What Happens Next Proposals from provinces and private companies will be reviewed in the coming months, with a stated deadline of less than two years for project approval. Trade negotiations with the U.S. are ongoing, led by Member of Parliament Dominic LeBlanc, minister of Canada-U.S. trade, intergovernmental affairs and One Canadian Economy.
