Subsequently, the Court of Accounts of the State of São Paulo (TCE-SP) launched an investigation into the TOP card, the electronic ticketing system used by the Metrô, CPTM, and EMTU. The probe is examining allegations of financial losses, opaque management models, and potential conflicts of interest involving the relationship between the Brazilian Association of Passenger Transport Card Companies (Abasp) and the technology manager, Autopass.
