The project to implement the electronic fare system in the public transport sector in Chisinau municipality is close to completion. The Chisinau City Hall said this stage includes the drawing up of the documents needed for holding later an international tender contest. The selected contactor will develop this system in the public transport sector of Chisinau.
The electronic fare collection system will be introduced in all the municipal trolleybus and bus lines. To be able to travel, the passengers will need intelligent cards that can be reloaded through different devices, point of sale terminals or specially set up places.
According to the local authorities of Chisinau, the electronic fare system is simple, convenient and accessible to all the categories of passengers. The project is supported by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
