“Our intention was always for there to be more cards and more charging points so that more income is generated at the kiosk and so that people have more possibilities of being able to use public transportation. But the advancement of technology has meant that fewer and fewer kiosks have charging service,” she complained.
Likewise, Mascheroni anticipated that currently “there is progress towards the elimination of the card, especially in the Federal Capital and large cities”, so “it would directly become the payment for transportation with virtual wallets.”
