Linking bank cards in the Moscow Metro application
The service allows you to pay for previous trips in just a couple of clicks, removing the card from the stop list. You can also view the history of card use in public transport. Passengers have linked about 250,000 bank cards to the application.
Biometric payment on MCD (Moscow Central Diameters)
In 2024, biometric payment became available at the Nakhabino, Kalanchevskaya, Likhobory and Zelenograd-Kryukovo stations. All passengers registered in the system can pay for travel using biometrics on Diameters.
Accelerated Payment System (APS)
This Russian service has been implemented in the Moscow Metro ticket offices and machines. With its help, passengers can buy or top up a Troika or Moskvich card using a smartphone from any manufacturer.
Biometric payment for students
Students have been given the opportunity to pay for travel on the metro and the Moscow Central Circle using biometrics. This convenient payment method is available to more than 550,000 students in Moscow.
Virtual card “Troika”
This service allows you to pay for travel using any smartphone on all types of public transport. With the virtual Troika, passengers spend less than a minute to buy a ticket and confirm their trip.
Online activation of replenishment of the Troika card
Yellow terminals are no longer needed! At the request of passengers, automatic activation of online replenishment of Troika and Moskvich cards has been introduced at the metro and MCC turnstiles. In addition, the service has been implemented in an open beta version on all 3,000 tram validators.
“The city ticket system fully meets the needs of passengers. We offer innovative solutions that have no analogues in the world in terms of scale and convenience. For example, biometric payment. In addition, in 2024, on the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, new digital services were launched in transport, which made travel even more convenient. Next year, we will continue to develop the most advanced domestic solutions for passengers,” said Maxim Liksutov.
