It was at the end of February that an app was launched to load passes and transport tickets via smartphone. Yes, we talk about CARRISwaywith a new service that allows the loading of passes and transport tickets, onto the navigation card, using smartphones with compatible NFC technology, meaning it is no longer necessary to go to a cash register ATMstores RAILS or other charging points.

Through the CARRISway app, you can upload your Metropolitan Navigator, Municipal Navigator, Navigator +65, Metropolitan Family Navigator, Municipal Family Navigator, Navegante Urbano 3rd Age/Ref.Pens., Pass Neighborhood Careers or Zapping.

But Lisbon Metropolitan Transport didn’t want to be left with nothing, or rather, just the website, and is now launching, in beta phase, the navigation app. And it counts on the help of all users to improve the application.

Created for iOS and Android, the navigation app was designed to make life easier for people who commute daily in the Lisbon metropolitan area and, as a consequence, promote greater ease of access to more sustainable and green mobility.

Initially, the navigation app will allow you to load passes and consult the contents of the navigation card. At a more advanced stage, the application will incorporate the concept of mobility account, with new features such as card request and the virtualization of navigation cards, making it possible to validate trips using a cell phone.

As TML knows that the navigation app has the potential to serve hundreds of thousands of people, which could lead to massive adoption and a high load on the application, the company is asking passengers in the Lisbon metropolitan area for help to test it, first hand, the navigation app.

Registration to test the app is open to a limited number of people. Therefore, if you want to help improve the app, you can register your interest here, and the app, in beta version, can be tested on both Android and iOS.
