The project is being implemented jointly with the Moscow Metro State Unitary Enterprise based on NFC technology (Near Field Communication, short-range wireless communication technology). The MTS representatives demonstrated a ready-to-use technological solution for payment of travel in the metro on Friday at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum.
The new solution suggests the possibility of buying an electronic ticket to enter the Moscow subway through the transfer of funds from the subscriber’s mobile account. The e-ticket is loaded into the phone’s memory and allows you to use the phone instead of a payment card.
