The operation is immediate, just like a regular purchase, and is available on all lines of the STCP bus network. Making Mobility More accessible

This digital option broadens access to the service, making payment simpler, faster, and more intuitive for residents and tourists.
Advantages for the passenger
The new payment method allows for faster boarding by reducing waiting times, ensures greater security by eliminating the need for passengers to carry physical cash, and allows for the purchase of More than just one ticket, for example for a group, since you only need to tell the driver the number of tickets you wish to purchase.
The introduction of contactless payment technology does not replace existing transport tickets. It is merely a new alternative payment method to paying cash for the ticket.
