According to Maksim Liksutov, the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport
and Industry the facial recognition payment service will be operational at all metro turnstiles by the end of 2025. To expand the technology and maintain its high speed in station lobbies, additional Russian-made equipment will be installed.
Paying with biometrics is:
- Convenient. No need for cards, phones, or cash.
- Cost-Effective. The lowest fares on public transport.
- Secure. The system has bank-level security, and all data is encrypted.
Biometric payment – the most convenient fare payment service. It is now available at all metro stations, the Moscow Central Circle, Aeroexpress, and regular river transport. Future plans include expanding the service to the Moscow Central Diameters and surface urban transport.
Biometric payment has proven itself as a reliable and secure payment method.
Nowhere else in the world is the service implemented on such a scale and with such convenience for passengers as in the capital. Since its launch, it has been used over 140 million times, with over 160,000 facial recognition passages made every business day. We are implementing the best domestic payment solutions in city transport, as instructed by the Mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin, — added Maksim Liksutov.
