From June 1, you can pay for travel on Kazan buses by credit card.
(KZN.RU, May 27, Alina Berezhnaya). From the beginning of the summer season, Kazan citizens will be able to pay the fare in city buses by credit cards. Aidar Abdulkhakov, the chairman of the Committee on Transport, said today at the Business Monday that all buses are equipped with new travel inspection devices. Mobile cash registers will accept both transport and credit cards for payment, and a check will be printed. The fare by credit cards will be 27 rubles in accordance with the decision of the State Committee of the RT on tariffs.
In April-May, all carriers conducted training for conductors to work with these devices. In the test mode, the fare can be paid by a credit card of any payment system: Visa, MasterCard, MIR, and others with the PayPass. This mode will last one month. According to A. Abdulkhakov, the interaction of systems will be inspected during this time.
Also, the speaker recalled that since last year, travel on trams, trolleybuses and subways can be paid by bank cards. “From the moment of entering, the number of citizens paying for travel by a card has increased almost 12 times and now makes up about 10% of the total number of passengers”, said A. Abdulkhakov.
Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, noted that these changes are very important. “We are keeping pace with modern cities, and this is another step forward. All our life in the financial sector is moving towards replacing cash for credit cards. Public transport is no exception in this regard. This is an additional convenience”, commented I. Metshin.
