A new project proposes to pay for the bus, train or subway ticket directly with the cell phone. This could make the SUBE card obsolete.
According to the Ministry of Transport of the Nation, during the first week of September will begin, in the capital city of Neuquen, the SUBE Digital pilot testa system that will allow paying the public transport ticket through the cell phone using digital cards that use NFC technology to connect with SUBE validators.
In this way, users they will be able to enable and use their digital card through a mobile applicationwithout the need to have a physical version in hand or wallet.
Fixed sum: “You have to pay it, don’t complain,” warned the head of the AFIP to businessmen
Currently, the passengers have the possibility of loading the balance on the SUBE card through wallets and digital platforms, like Mercado Pago, to mention. However, this process Mandatorily requires that each user prove the load at a local terminal; with the exception of those with more recent mobiles, with NFC technology, who can use the official SUBE application to do so.
Now, it seeks to go one step further: use that same app no longer to enable the money destined for the system, but to link cards and pay for transport.
This may make it possible that, tomorrow, It is possible to pay with debit or credit for the bus, train or subway; in addition to pointing out an increasingly present problem: the shortage of plastics.
The SUBE incorporates more technology
Among the new tools, The Government seeks to incorporate, at the national level, the “Cargo on Board”which would allow the virtual loads to be accredited directly in the validators of the groups, to complement the existing app. The pilot test of this is being carried out in the Santa Fe city of Reconquista, where it is 100% effective in 10 days.
At the same time, they are working on incorporating the technology that would allow paying for public transport trips with the BNA debit card, integrating both services in the physical card of the transport system. The pilot test of this system will be carried out in the coming weeks in the city of Paraná, Entre Ríos, the ministry reported.
