The Baixada Santista region in Brazil has introduced a new electronic ticketing system for public transport, specifically for the Light Rail Vehicle (VLT) and intermunicipal buses managed by BR Mobilidade. This system aims to streamline the ticket purchasing process for passengers by incorporating digital payment methods such as Pix and QR Codes, significantly enhancing user convenience. The transition also includes introducing a new BR Card for physical and virtual use, which allows commuters to reload their credits seamlessly through the Quanto Tempo Falta Pay app.

The improvements to the ticketing system also ensure that current physical BR Cards will continue to function for the time being. As the new system is rolled out, users can either use their existing cards or adopt the new digital methods, allowing for a flexible transition. The app not only provides a digital wallet but also features a QR Code generation option for those without a physical card, facilitating easy and quick access to transportation services.

This initiative reflects a growing trend in Brazil towards digital payment solutions, aimed at increasing efficiency and accessibility in public transportation. By leveraging technology, the program is designed to reduce wait times and improve the overall travel experience for commuters in the Baixada Santista area. Such advancements not only modernize transport operations but also align with broader movements toward smart city solutions across Brazil.
