The VEM (Vale eletrônico Metropolitano, Electronic Metropolitan Ticket) is a Smart card system used in bus, train and metro of the metropolitan area of Recife, Brazil.
The VEM cards operate by using contactless technology as they have an internal chip that communicates with the validator by RFID.[2]
There are many types of the Vem Card: The workers card and adults card are the standard versions. As well the student card can be granted if you show your id at a registration point in Recife. As well, there is a children's vem card, for children under six who cannot go through the turnstiles.[3]
