available in 2021 By the A.M. Costa Rica staff The bus and train ticket card payment system will be implemented in 2021, announced the Ministry of Transport According to the Ministry, the authorization of the card is very complicated because it involves several government institutions. Card payment has the goal of creating a single payment system for the tickets on public transportation services, as well as reducing the risk associated with the use of cash. The card payment will provide valuable information to optimize public transport, such as creating new routes, modifying or eliminating existing routes, knowing the demand to add more units, providing a better service, and to know with certainty the demand as a tool for the models to establish the rates,” said Rodolfo Mendez, Minister of Transport. The use of the card will start with a pilot plan of controlled tests with employees of the Railway Institute in February 2021. By September 2021, card payment will be gradually implemented in public transport services. This plan for using cards for the payment of public transport tickets started in 2018. ----------------------- Should the government speed up the use of a card for the payment of public transport service tickets?
