From February 1, payment by cards is introduced in public transport in Chernivtsi, and the sale of electronic tickets will also start working. This was announced by the mayor of Chernivtsi Roman Klichuk.

According to him, the city intends to completely abandon payment in public transport for cash..

“We are trying to do everything possible so that in public transport they do not pay in cash. After all, we know that when there is a cash settlement, there are abuses that are very difficult to control.. In public transport, you can already pay with cashless cards, from phones and using a QR code,” said Roman Klichuk, informs the ACC Media Agency..

For people who find it inconvenient to pay with a bank card or phone using the QR code of the Privat 24 and EasyPay applications, electronic tickets will be sold in retail chains and at bus stops. Thus, from March 1, the city plans to completely abandon cash in public transport..

The cost of the card is UAH 200, of which UAH 170 is for paying for trips.
