Rio de Janeiro electronic ticketing implementation

Overview

The government of Rio de Janeiro has moved to implement new electronic ticketing systems to increase transparency and oversight of public transport fare revenues. Initially, the state government issued a decree establishing a State Electronic Ticketing System designed to provide real-time access to boarding transactions and eliminate technical barriers to public oversight.

Following these developments, the municipal ticketing system, Jaé, reached a milestone of 1 billion recorded trips after its first year of exclusive operation. The platform now serves 5 million registered users, with significant adoption of digital payment methods including PIX and QR codes via mobile application. The system integrates various transport modes, including buses, BRT terminals, Metro, VLT, and vans.

Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere stated that the digital ticketing system provides the city administration with “greater transparency and data access,” allowing for better oversight of transport rules and operations. By centralizing fare collection, the city can monitor revenue more effectively and use detailed data on passenger patterns and peak hours to improve service planning and efficiency.

Recent developments show that the Jaé app has expanded its utility by integrating the Rio Rotativo Digital parking system. This integration, which covers regions such as Barra da Tijuca, São Conrado, and Tijuca, replaces paper vouchers with mobile payments via PIX or credit card to allow for electronic monitoring of parking turnover.
