Previously, it was only possible in the subway.
There is long-awaited news for "Troika" card holders: now they don't have to worry about topping up their balance, because now they can do it online anywhere. And activate in all types of ground transport in the capital, not only in the subway, as it was before.
"For the first time you can activate "Troika" in all ground transport in Moscow. It is very convenient - you need to top up the card balance online, and then simply attach it to the validator in order to activate the payment. Previously, this would have required going to the metro station to use a special terminal. Today 25 thousand validators are available on any route, almost anywhere in Moscow", - said the Head of the Department of Transport of Moscow, Maxim Liksutov.
During the implementation of this project, there was no need to install new validators in land transport, they simply added the “activate balance on the card” function.
The residents of TiNAO were the first to evaluate the service; in December, it was tested on 90 bus routes. And now the service is available in all metropolitan buses, electric buses and trams.
