Minimum value of the Single Ticket was judicially updated
The decision taken by the Special Body of the Court of Justice of Rio considered the state law that extended the benefit to a higher income range to be unconstitutional.
The measure aims to direct public resources to serve the most vulnerable group of workers. The determination must be fulfilled immediately by the state government.
The State Secretariat for Transport and Mobility and Riocard Mais, responsible for administering the ticketing system electronics, are working together to implement the necessary operational measures to comply with the determination judicial.
Initially, the change in the income limit for the Bilhete Único will be applied to new users who register as of today. For existing users, there will be a gradual re-registration process.
After the initial implementation of changes to the benefit card for new users, a re-registration calendar will be released for those who already use the benefit. During re-registration, users will need to make a new tax return in the system.
The Department of Transport is in the process of defining the complete schedule for the re-registration of existing users on the Intermunicipal Single Ticket. This information will be disclosed shortly, allowing users to adapt to the new requirements and maintain access to the benefit.
