A mobile application for paying for travel is being tested in Izhevsk

2023: Testing the application "Udmurtia Transport"

IPOPAT begins testing a fare payment system in Izhevsk through the Udmurtia Transport mobile application. The project is being implemented jointly with the operator of the fare payment system in the region LLC TIS and Datapax. Passengers of bus routes No. 8 and No. 79 can be the first to assess the possibilities. Datapax announced this on June 20, 2023.

To pay for travel through the Udmurtia Transport mobile application, you must first install it on your smartphone, scan the QR code in the bus or, turning on Bluetooth and geolocation, select your route and pay for the trip, following the instructions. After payment, the application will form an electronic ticket, which must be presented at the request of the controller.

The implementation of this project is aimed at improving the comfort and quality of passenger traffic. Testing of this modern method of payment for travel takes place on two capacitless bus routes in Izhevsk. After all the processes are debugged, we plan to provide the opportunity to pay for travel through the Udmurtia Transport mobile application to passengers and other routes operating without a conductor, "said Ruslan Giniyatov, executive director of IPOPAT JSC.

The Udmurtia Transport mobile application provides the user with information about all bus routes in the city. With the help of the digital service, the passenger will be able to see the schedule, track the movement of buses on the city map in real time, find out the predicted arrival time at the desired stop and, in general, plan his route optimally.

Launching a mobile application is a very important step for us, as it takes us to a new level of interaction with the carrier: the full functioning of the mobile application (as well as modern passenger mobility services in general) is impossible without deep mutual integration of enterprise information systems, which inevitably requires the formation and maintenance of strict standards of interaction, but with proper implementation leads to an improvement in the quality of the transportation service, - said Alexander Prozorov, General Director of TIS LLC.

We strive to make public transport as convenient as possible for passengers by introducing innovative digital solutions. Users of the Udmurtia Transport mobile application will be able to appreciate the convenient method of cashless fare payment. Now the passenger does not have to have a bank card with him, you can consider the QR code a camera on your smartphone or calmly take a convenient place in the bus, open the application and confirm payment with one click, - commented Maxim Isaev, Deputy General Director of Datapax.
