Similar to bank payment stickers
In the Russian capital, they began testing the Muscovite card in a new format. The press service of the Moscow Department of Information Technologies spoke about this.
The new card is designed in the form of a sticker; you can stick it on your smartphone and then use the usual card services. The press service said:
The sticker is a convenient modern format that many citizens are already accustomed to. It is as easy to use as a regular card. For example, to travel in public transport, you need to attach a sticker to the validator, and to make an appointment with a doctor, you need to touch the information machine in the clinic.
A new format of the Muscovite card is being tested in Moscow – in the form of a sticker for a smartphone
Testing will last until the end of November. Among others, disabled people of groups 2 and 3, students and parents of large families take part in it. In this way, developers check how convenient the new card format is for holders of different categories.
If citizens like the new format of the Muscovite card, the project will continue to be developed. It is expected that it will help reduce the time it takes to issue a card and a temporary unified social ticket, and will also allow you to change the preferential category without replacing the card.
The Muscovite Card is one of the main social projects of the capital. It provides Moscow residents with personal access to city infrastructure. Pupils, students, pensioners and people of pre-retirement age, children and parents from large families, veterans, Muscovites with disabilities and representatives of other preferential categories can receive the card.
