Public transport in Lisbon and Porto to allow contactless bank card payments
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Housing announced that public transport operators and transport managers in the metropolitan areas of Lisbon and Porto signed a protocol to develop a national ticketing project. In a first phase, the focus is on developing a platform that accepts contactless bank cards as a direct payment method at validators, allowing passengers to skip buying tickets in advance at machines or counters. Mobi.E will promote the cooperation to create a technological base that facilitates ticketing interoperability and reduces transaction costs.
Why it matters
If you commute in Lisbon or Porto, you will soon be able to pay for public transport directly with a contactless bank card at validators without needing to buy tickets beforehand.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
