Public transport updates in Rio de Janeiro and Niterói

Overview

MetrôRio initiated a registration and reactivation drive for the Bilhete Único Intermunicipal and Tarifa Social benefits at the Botafogo station. This service, organized by Prodata Mais Mobi, was scheduled to expand to other stations following the initial phase. To maintain the R$ 5 metro fare, passengers are required to complete facial biometrics validation at turnstiles.

In Niterói, the Secretariat of Mobility and Infrastructure began testing Pix as a payment method on 11 buses across three municipal lines. This initiative, conducted with bus companies and Prodata Mais Mobi, aims to automate payments and reach 100% electronic transactions by the end of the year. It is currently unclear if Pix payments will include Bilhete Único de Niterói discounts.

Additionally, MetrôRio announced special operating hours for the All Souls Day holiday on November 2, 2026, with the system running from 7:00 to 23:00.
