CP will spend 10 million euros on new machines. Lisbon tickets may become similar to those in Porto
A 10-million-euro investment funded by European funds will be used to renew and expand ticket vending machines in Greater Lisbon. Some stations on the West Line will also benefit.
Fifteen years later, CP is preparing to replace the ticket vending machines at stations in the Lisbon region and surrounding areas. The company will invest 10 million euros in new equipment, which will be installed over the course of a year and may be compatible with the ticketing systems also used on Porto's suburban trains.
A total of 311 ticket vending machines will be installed: 208 will be "fully equipped," accepting credit and debit cards, banknotes, and coins, while the remaining 103 will be "simplified," accepting only credit and debit cards. The new machines will support contactless bank cards, a feature not available on the current equipment. Machines that only accept cards will be installed in locations where devices with banknote and coin functionality are already present.
This investment will nearly double the number of ticket vending machines. For instance, at Cais do Sodré station, 22 machines will be installed (up from the current 10). At Rossio station, 20 machines will be available. Some suburban service stops will have ticket vending machines for the first time, such as Espadanal da Azambuja and Vila Nova da Rainha (Azambuja Line), Praias-Sado-A (Sado Line), and Marvila (Belt Line).

Mobil.T at the 3rd International Meeting, promoted by the Engineering Institute of Brazil
29.10.2020
OTLIS gave a lecture on the implementation of the interoperable contactless ticketing system in Lisbon at the 3rd International Meeting on the Operation of Means of Payment in European Transport, promoted by the Engineering Institute of Brazil. This presentation addressed the Mobil.T project co-financed by CEF as a strategic approach to future Mobility as a Service that will allow systems to be integrated with different mobile approaches.
In times of pandemic, Europe has implemented important protocols to ensure the return of people to Public Transport. Numerous operational improvement measures were adopted in all modes of transport, such as care for the hygiene and safety of passengers and crew, as well as concrete actions for the operators' financial sustainability. Among the operational and economic actions, the gains obtained with the improvements introduced in the integration of electronic ticketing stand out, which provided an open and interoperable system.
To exchange information, representatives of civil society involved in Public Transport in Brazilian cities were invited, namely: ANPTrilhos - National Association of Passenger Carriers on Railways; UITP - International Public Transport Union; NTU - Brazilian Association of Urban Transport; AEAMESP - Association of Metro Engineers and Architects.

OTLIS has installed its first new VIVA kiosk in Metropolitano de Lisboa.
The initiative is being implemented under the MOBIL.T project, which is co-financed by the European Commission’s CEF Transport Programme, and will enable frequent travellers to request and receive VIVA cards (season passes) automatically and in under a minute, without resorting to paper requests.
The Kiosk VIVA is based on the reading of the Citizen Card for the automatic filling of data, thus making it possible to place the Lisboa VIVA card order and obtain it at the moment. In practice, the Kiosk allows you to issue the Lisboa VIVA card on the spot.
Operation is simple and intuitive. Simply insert the Citizen Card into the machine, fill in the missing data and accept the terms and conditions for the issue and use of the new Lisboa VIVA card. Then you have to pay using a debit card and in just a few minutes the card is printed and can be used immediately.
With this service, Operators guarantee their customers another alternative for the acquisition of the Lisboa VIVA card, thus contributing to a significant improvement in services and time savings: in a few minutes the customer obtains his Lisboa VIVA card without having to fill out forms or take a photo.

Mobil.T presence at the “II Seminário Latinoamericano de Tecnologías de recaudo en Transporte Público” in Panamá
25.10.2029
Transport authorities are challenged to offer efficient and friendly services for the payment of public transport, in an environment in constant evolution, both in the available transport services and in the electronic payment mechanisms.
The last few years have been an explosion of innovative mobility services with the appearance of individual transport applications, applications for taxis, applications for micro mobility such as scooters and electric bicycles, among others.
The introduction of new means of payment such as bank cards, qr code on mobile phones, mobile payment applications through applications such as google pay and apple pay, among others.
In this model of continuous development, the authorities are increasingly aware of the need to change several paradigms.
The II Latin American seminar on payment technologies in public transport, promoted by the Inter-American Bank of Development (BID), aimed to know firsthand the opinion of companies that lead the implementation of electronic payment systems; show the advances and challenges in the design and implementation of payment systems in some of the main cities in Latin America and the Caribbean and propose good practices to quickly implement innovative and open solutions.
OTLIS was invited to present the interoperable system developed in Lisbon, as well as the Mobil.T project that will enable the development of ticketing information systems, which will be prepared for the adoption of new payment and validation technologies for transport such as NFC, BLE and QR CODE.

OTLIS starts MOBIL.T - a new project for multimodal ticketing improvement in the Lisbon Metropolitan transports Area
22.07.2019
The MOBIL.T project was approved for funding by the European Commission under the CEF Transport Programme and aims to create a new innovative and inclusive central ticketing system, common to all mobility operators in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (AML), by harmonising different systems.
Being located on the Atlantic Core Network Corridor, the overall objective of MOBIL.T is to promote intermodal ticketing system to enable any traveller to choose and use the best transport mode available. The ticketing system should be accessible in an integrated way to any person traveling throughout the Lisbon Metropolitan Area.
The Action aims to deploy a new advanced central ticketing system - technological platform common to all mobility operators in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area - by harmonising different systems towards a unique, innovative and inclusive one, to incorporate technological developments and upgrades of existing systems to support mobile tickets and bank cards, and to strengthen multimodal ticketing delivery.
OTLIS is the coordinator of a consortium composed by 11 transport and mobility operators, who will be implementing a set of activities and investments between November 2018 and June 2021.
The OTLIS’ vision of achieving an unmatched national interoperable ticketing system, where all the Portuguese public transport operators would be connected to the VIVA System, is now a reality in AML!
