Trevo, Ubirider and Mastercard Collaborate to Make Évora the First City in Portugal to Offer Contactless Payments on its Public Transit Network

“Trevo (Transportes Rodoviários de Évora), the public transport service operator for the city of Évora, announced that it has adopted Ubirider’s digital platform, Pick, which provides contactless payments on their public transport network, with the collaboration of Mastercard. Trevo users can now make contactless payments on board buses with contactless cards, smartphones or smartwatches, quickly and without the need for a physical ticket. This system, called Contactless EMV®, is used in many cities worldwide, but Évora is the first city in Portugal to implement the contactless payment system. Ubirider’s Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform, Pick, allows Trevo to integrate and combine means of transport and mobility: buses, trains, rideshare, scooters, parking, etc. Users have access to the Pick Hub app, which allows them to plan their trips with more options, pay and use their digital tickets with simplicity.”
