As Maxim Liksutov explained, by the end of 2025, all payment equipment for passage at stations will be connected to the biometric service. For example, at the end of last week, work was completed on the Solntsevskaya Line, where biometrics appeared at 138 passages. Biometrics has become a convenient and secure way to pay for travel, in which all user data is securely encrypted, and the system itself has a bank-level of protection.
Previously, a convenient method of paying for travel was launched at all turnstiles of the following lines: Troitskaya, Butovskaya, Nekrasovskaya and Filevskaya.
Moscow is the world leader in the number of types of transport where payment by biometrics is available. The payment service operates in the metro, on the Moscow Central Circle, Aeroexpress, regular river routes and some MCD stations. The most modern method of paying for travel can be used at about 1.5 thousand turnstiles of city transport. According to the task of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the best Russian payment solutions for the convenience of users continue to be developed in the capital's transport, – added Maxim Liksutov.
