The units are prepared for the installation of micro cameras, Wi-Fi systems, electromechanical turnstiles, and validators, to serve users who pay fares through electronic ticketing, providing greater agility in the boarding and alighting process.

All vehicles have LED electronic itineraries and a multiplex system, which alerts the driver to possible faults in the bus`s electrical system, enhancing safety.
