CR-T1255 : Scaling up the current SINPE-TP into an interoperable payment system for the San José Greater Metropolitan Public Transport

This TC aims to support the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MOPT) in expanding the current Electronic Payment System in its urban train network (SINPE-TP) towards an interoperable system for both trains and buses operating in the Grand Metropolitan Area (GMA) of San José. By scaling up the SINPE-TP into an interoperable electric payment system, the TC will contribute directly to the improvement of the efficiency of the Public Transport (PT) in the metropolitan area, enhancing the user experience and fostering its attractiveness for the San José citizens, as well as putting a steppingstone for the possible future deployment of an integrated Mobility as a Service transport system, which will position Costa Rica as one of the regional frontrunners in providing an efficient and accessible public transport service.
