📋 Tender Overview
The system will allow the electronic fare collection resources to be managed in a secure, traceable and transparent manner, benefiting more than 11 million citizens.As part of the modernization process of the Integrated Transportation System, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), through the Urban Transportation Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU), presented the Master Trust scheme to modernize the means of payment for public transportation in the capital.
During the presentation, the Minister of Transportation and Communications, Aldo Prieto, highlighted that this mechanism will allow the electronic fare collection resources to be centralized and managed in a safe, orderly and transparent manner without unnecessary intermediaries.
The Master Trust will allow the income from the sale and recharge of the Interoperable Transportation Card (TIT), as well as other electronic payment methods, to be managed under a single system. Subsequently, through the clearing house, orders will be issued for the automated distribution of payments, credits and commissions to the different actors linked to the Unified Collection System.
We are building a system where the Metro, the Metropolitan, complementary corridors and conventional routes operate under the same economic and operational standard, said Prieto Barrera.
Among the main benefits of the Master Trust, the organization of the financial flow, greater transparency and traceability of resources, the automation of payments and commissions, and the strengthening of interoperability between operators and payment methods stand out.
The head of the MTC also announced that progress is being made in parallel in the progressive implementation of Integrated Transportation Systems in 10 cities in the country, an initiative that will benefit more than 6.5 million Peruvians.
This advance is possible thanks to articulated work between ATU, as the governing body of the system and in charge of managing resources; and transport company operators, responsible for operating and maintaining the electronic collection system technology.
With this initiative, the MTC reaffirms its commitment to an integrated, modern and efficient public transportation system for millions of users in Lima and Callao.
