Top platform reaches 5 million users in São Paulo

The Top platform, operated by Autopass, has reached 5 million registered users via mobile app in São Paulo and its metropolitan area this January. This milestone excludes physical cards available in the market. Passengers can use the app to pay fares via QR Code or recharge cards.

The Top platform, a public transport payment system managed by Autopass, hit a major milestone in January 2026, with 5 million users registered solely through the mobile app. This figure covers São Paulo and its metropolitan area, excluding physical cards that also enable service access.

Introduced as a digital solution for urban mobility, Top allows users to pay for various modes like trains, buses, and metro by scanning a QR Code or recharging virtual cards via the app. This feature establishes the platform as one of the key gateways to public transport in the state of São Paulo, in line with the rising adoption of digital services in this sector.

Top's growth mirrors the national expansion of Autopass, acknowledged as one of the world's four largest electronic ticketing companies. Beyond São Paulo, the firm runs systems in other Brazilian capitals, such as Jaé in Rio de Janeiro and the Pra Já and Vai Passe Fácil solutions in Belém and its metropolitan area. This broader footprint aids in modernizing public transport nationwide, easing access through mobile technology.

According to Mônica Bergamo's column in Folha de S.Paulo, published on January 26, 2026, this progress underscores the role of digital platforms in enhancing urban mobility in São Paulo.
