The use of the ID card as an alternative is something totally new for our country and many, including me, We were shocked to learn that it has this capacity to store information and be a means of payment and access to the subway.. With this background I am going to tell you how to use this alternative for your trips on the Quito Metro subway trains..

Use the ID card on the Quito Metro

as we have seen, the metro has for now only 4 payment options that allow us to use the Line 1 of the subway, The ID card being the newest and most different means that, in order to use it, the process is relatively simple and is explained in the following steps.:

1. Create an account on: https://quitosemueve.metrodequito.gob.ec/login?redirect=true
   1. You must enter all your personal data requested during the registration process, even the fingerprint data available on the ID.
2. Go directly to any metro station and ask to activate your account with the ID at the service windows..
3. Make a recharge of the amount you want.
   1. It should be noted here that recharging can also be done via the official Metro APP..
4. ¡Llisto!

That's all, This way the account is activated and they can use their ID to pass the metro payment points and they can load it whenever they want at the window., machines o la app. I also tell you that when creating the account in the link I put above, They will also be able to access the QR codes via the app.

¿Funcionan todas las cédulas?

Here it is important to indicate that not all Ecuadorian ID cards are compatible with the technology active today in the metro., so you should take into account the following:

• The ID must have chip technology.
• Valid IDs are those issued from the 2017.
• Finally, The IDs issued by the Municipality of Guayaquil are not compatible in terms of the chip technology they have..

If you meet any of these points, You can still use any of the other available payment methods.

¿Tienes alguna otra duda? I read them in the comments.

Before I forget, I share these videos of the subway journey and more information that may be useful to you.
