As Maxim Liksutov stated, by the end of 2025, all payment equipment for station access will be connected to the biometrics service. For example, late last week, work was completed on the Solntsevskaya line, where biometrics were implemented at 138 access points. Biometrics have become a convenient and secure way to pay for travel, with all user data securely encrypted and the system itself having bank-level protection.
Previously, this convenient payment method was launched on all turnstiles of the following lines: Troitskaya, Butovskaya, Nekrasovskaya, and Filyovskaya.
Moscow is a global leader in the number of transport types where biometric payment is available. The payment service operates in the metro, on the MCC, Aeroexpress, regular river routes, and some MCD stations. The most modern payment method can be used at approximately 1.5 thousand urban transport turnstiles. Following the task of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, the best Russian payment solutions continue to be developed in the capital’s transport for user convenience, Maxim Liksutov added.
