In 2010, the Chisinau City Hall announced that the inhabitants of the capital city will not have to buy tickets from conductors as they will pay for trips by an electronic card in 2012 at the latest. Five years have passed, but the electronic taxation system in the public transport in Chisinau hasn’t been yet introduced.
