It is worth understanding this issue in detail and finding out what methods are allowed to make payments to the balance of such a necessary and daily used transport card.

There are several ways to add money to your transport card balance.

Features of the travel card

This plastic card is a special ticket created based on an application from the Transport Company. Users of plastic actively use it to pay for travel on public transport. This card is universal and is used for payment in various means of transportation:

metro;
bus lines;
trolleybus tracks;
tram routes.

When making a trip, the owner of the plastic card registers it in special terminals, and a certain amount for travel is withdrawn from the plastic card. A plastic travel pass is issued for a period of up to 5 years. It also has a warranty period (two years). During this period, the company that issued the pass is responsible for all problems that arise during its active use.

Topping up transport cards helps not only to use the card as payment for travel. This type of plastic is successfully used when making any purchases and receiving other services provided for in the rules of use. For such functioning, remote service systems are used (mobile banking and Sberbank Online).

When using a transport card as payment for goods/services, the user has the right to take advantage of several unpaid trips on city (local) transport. There are no fees for these transactions.

Types of transport cards

A travel plastic card has a number of advantages. In particular:

the number of trips has no restrictions;
All family members are allowed to use it (it is not personal);
the fee for using plastic is charged at the end of the current month;
services are paid according to the tariff plans adopted in the metro (they are significantly lower than usual);
the amount on the card is debited automatically; the owner only needs to monitor the balance in the account.
