Changes in the Sube - Now you can load up to $40,000 on your card

[jamess]

Previously, the maximum allowed was $9,900. Now, the only thing left to address is increasing the negative balance limit for when people run out of funds, which is currently set at $480.

It's a shame that not all iPhone models come with NFC technology. It would be much more convenient to handle everything through the app without having to go to a station, kiosco, or any other Sube point to load or activate your balance.

You also have the option to load funds onto your SUBE card at the bus validators. Just let the driver know before they mark your bus pass.

Here are the steps to load balance onto your SUBE card using Mercado Pago:

1. Open the Mercado Pago app.
2. Within the functions, select the option "Load transport."
3. Choose the option "Load a card."
4. Enter your SUBE card details.
5. Once this is done, select the registered card and indicate the amount you wish to load.
6. Choose the payment method to complete the transaction.
7. Finally, you need to activate the load. This can be done at SUBE Points or on a bus, or if your phone has NFC, you can use the SUBE app to activate the balance.

The government has ended the SUBE card monopoly, allowing public transport to be paid with any contactless electronic payment method. Although the start date for this system hasn't been set yet, the measure is officially approved. It's great because it gives us more options for paying bus fares.

This will be great news and stepping into modern times like many other major cities around the world where you can pay with contactless payment methods. Great news.

Great news for tourists not to have to go through the hassle of getting a Sube card. Sounds like it will start later this year.

I wonder if the price will be the same for foreigners using their credit/debit cards or people using Sube cards?

That day has come! The Subte now allows for contactless payments with your credit or debit card.

But I heard that although some of these new terminals are installed, the functionality won't work until later this year in December.

Ah bummer! I saw those new terminals on Line D and thought it worked. I didn't have my credit card to test it but just assumed when I saw the Contactless logo.
