Advances on credit
card payment system for public transport
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The project that will allow people to pay all public
transport services through credit or debit cards have
been approved, announced the Ministry of Transport on
Wednesday.
In other countries, the successful development of this
type of system has lasted between 4 and 8 years. In
Costa Rica, progress has been made since the formal
start of the project in 2018, said the ministry.
The public transport credit card payment system will
be implemented gradually, starting with the train
service, followed by bus routes.
According to the project schedule, in February 2021
the train tickets can be paid with debit or credit
cards.
In September 2021, bus services may be paid with a
card.
To guarantee access for all people to public transport
services, payment with cash will continue to be
accepted until authorities decide that it is no longer
necessary, said the ministry.
