Affordability of public transportation increases by 8 rubles in Krasnodar Territory

In the Krasnodar region, a welcome change is coming for public transportation users. From September 1 to December 31, the fare for bus, tram, and trolleybus rides will decrease by 8 rubles. This announcement was made by the press service of the regional administration.

To take advantage of this discount, passengers need to use the MIR payment card system via a mobile phone. The method of payment involves using a mobile phone with a MIR card added to a mobile payment service. Unfortunately, this offer does not apply to plastic MIR cards.

For those who wish to use this discount, their device must support NFC to function with the mobile payment service. Android phone users need to add their MIR card to one of the mobile payment services available in Russia. The promotion applies to all MIR cards, including online-issued virtual cards.

To pay, Android users need to hold their phone to the terminal for a few seconds and wait for confirmation. The fare, including the 8-ruble discount, will be automatically deducted from the MIR card.
