The 1Bilhete.pt project has been launched by the Secretary of State for Urban Mobility in Portugal with the aim of gradually introducing interoperability between the ticketing systems of the different public transport operators in the country. This initiative will start with the integration of the ticketing platforms in the two main metropolitan areas: Lisbon and Porto.

The project protocol was signed on 10 February in Coimbra between the Institute of Mobility and Transport (IMT), Transport Metropolitanos de Lisboa (TML) and Transport Intermodal do Porto (TIP).The project will help to reduce carbon emissions and will result in cleaner air, while also making the country’s transit systems more user-friendly.
