One day after the Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ-TEC) announce that found irregularities in the Single Ticket system Intermunicipal, the state Department of Transportation reported today (8) will also make an audit on the system. According to Secretary Carlos Roberto Osorio, who took office on Monday (5), the Rio de Janeiro state government will do a parallel investigation to the TEC.

"As soon as I took in the first conversation with the governor [Luiz Fernando] Bigfoot received the determination that the Department of Transportation did an audit on the Single Ticket for us to have absolute security in the system. It is a very important for the state program, it benefits millions of people. It's time to do a reflection, looking for the single ticket and check if we have safety and reliability to maintain the benefit to the population, "Osorio said.

Even today, the Secretary will meet with President of the ECA, Jonas Lopes de Carvalho Junior, to discuss the issue. The Single Ticket is a card with which the passenger can use more than one public transport (bus, subway, train or boat) in an interval of three hours, just paying a fee of £ 5.25.

The economy made by the passenger is paid to bus companies in the form of subsidy. If the passenger transport use with ticket less than US $ 5.25, the card delivers only the value of the cheaper rate.

As the ECA, between January and October about the state paid $ 450 million in grants to businesses. Among the irregularities found by the technicians of the court is the registration of CPF smaller entitled to gratuity.

In addition, the ECA found that lack transparency to RioCard system, which operates the Single Ticket on behalf of the Federation of Rio de Janeiro State Passenger Transport Companies (Fetranspor). Users who use only a means of transport can not know if the RioCard debited only the value of that passage, or the total of the Single Ticket. "It is an absolute lack of transparency. The user can not get access to the historical passages, "said the president of the EC Treaty.

Also according to the ECA, the RioCard refused to provide information to the court's audit. From next week, the ECA will make a specific auditing in RioCard computer system.

"We will inform the prosecutor that RioCard refused to give us some information, and that tax evasion is a crime. We will report to the Legislative Assembly the covenant breach by the RioCard "said Carvalho Junior.

In a statement, Fetranspor responsible for RioCard, reported that in no time, failed to provide clarification. According to the note, the CPFs registered in the system are transferred periodically to the Department of Finance.

According to Fetranspor, users of the Single Ticket "have full access to information on the use, simply request it from the employer in the case of vouchers, or consult them directly into your account in the Single Ticket site. Balance information can also be found in the validators and RioCard posts "it added.

The President of the ECA and the clerk gave the statements today, held by the president, in the ECA headquarters.
