The TTP may also be used on certain long-distance buses between Madrid and nearby towns and cities in the neighboring autonomous community of Castilla–La Mancha, including Toledo and Guadalajara.

Deploying a contactless smart card for public transit in Madrid has been planned since at least 2003, when CRTM launched a three-month pilot project to test contactless payments on some 30 buses in Fuenlabrada, after which it would have been extended to other modes of public transit that ran through the town.

[2] Although a full rollout of the card throughout Madrid was envisioned by 2007, by 2010 the only progress made was with launching in 2008 a contactless card for holders of the Abono Anual, CRTM's annual transport pass, whose passes covered the city of Madrid (zone A), and with another limited pilot program set for 2011.

[5] By July 2012, around 50,000 youths had already exchanged their magnetic stripe paper passes for TTPs, spurred by CRTM's decision to waive fees for changing to the TTP until the end of the month.

[10] It was later announced on 14 January 2015 that the two millionth TTP was issued to a woman from Rivas-Vaciamadrid, and following the announcement of free public transport for children the same day,[11] a children's version of the TTP, the Tarjeta Infantil, was introduced on 15 February 2015, with an initial batch of 7,000 cards being issued.

[20] TTPs have also been produced with promotional or commemorative designs, such as with some 200,000 cards featuring famous works from Madrid's Golden Triangle of Art.
