In Perm the beskonduktorny scheme of payment of journey is implemented

2021: Start of an experiment on payment of journey without participation of the conductor

On February 2, 2021 CFT announced that in Perm the experiment on payment of journey without participation of the conductor started. This technology is the international standard of the organization of payment of journey and allows to be calculated for trips, having just attached the card or the mobile device on the terminal in inside of the vehicle. The technology is implemented based on the transport system "The electronic travel card" developed by Zolotaya Korona Ltd and allowing to implement any scenarios of payment in public transport.

and the first stage of implementation of this technology the equipment for start of the beskonduktorny scheme will be installed on 50 vehicles performing the flights along bus routes No. 4 and No. 80 and also tram route No. 6.

To pay journey, it is enough to attach the transport or bank card and also any device with NFC technology supporting contactless payment on the device. The terminal will notify the passenger on payment by a green signal and the sound notification. Those passengers, it is more convenient to whom to pay journey with cash, will be able to make it at the driver of the vehicle. At the same time at journey payment by any non-cash method the differential tariff works – journey becomes 2 rubles cheaper.

Terminals do not issue checks – the trends requiring a compliance with law, support of the high level of customer service and environmental standards are like that. The passenger can receive the fiscal check according to the legislation in mobile application Transport card (available to devices on Android and iOS). Controllers will be able to obtain information on payment from the terminal of the driver or to ask the passenger to attach the map to the figurative terminal which will show whether payment was made.

The city of Perm continues to improve consistently work of city passenger transport and as many other cities, tests beskonduktorny systems. The experiment, first of all, is necessary to reveal all problem places: both technical, and economic. It will allow to estimate transition to a beskonduktorny system or failure from these plans, on the basis of real indicators: technical – whether everything works as should, economic – whether really the loss share from free riders is lower, than maintenance costs of the staff of conductors and social – that in case of reduction of number of conductors, it occurred gradually and did not cause sharp social tension, - the chief of city department of transport of Perm Anatoly Putin commented on start of a beskonduktorny experiment.

The Electronic Travel Card system is a flexible and multifunction transport platform. Our purpose – to provide to residents of Perm Krai the best solutions, using the most relevant IT developments in the field of the organization of passenger traffic. Our system works on Openness technology, and it means it is open for integration with other systems – payment, navigation, dispatching. A system is capable to implement any schemes of transport work, and itself to develop depending on needs of the region and the transport industry, - Alexander Grishin, the head of directorate "Transport and social cards", Zolotaya Korona says.
