Advantages of electronic payment in public transport

Electronic payment system in public transport is an innovative, modern, and most importantly - a convenient form of payment for travel, which has many advantages over cash. Established in society and familiar to all kind of cash payment with the driver or controller is a thing of the past for several reasons. Firstly, the absence of controllers in minibuses and other vehicles seriously complicates the work of the driver, provoking dangerous situations on the road. Secondly, the process of cash payment in public transport is not convenient and in some ways dangerous, because there is a great risk of becoming a victim of pickpockets. Finally, there is no need to hire individuals as supervisors.

How does this system work?
The essence of the electronic payment system in public transport is extremely simple, a special device is installed at the entrance, which is called a validator. To make a payment, you need to attach a special card and, almost immediately, funds for travel in automatic mode will be debited from it. In addition, this device is equipped with additional functions, such as checking the balance. Today, specialized points are actively opening, where each person can replenish the card account when the balance is close to zero. In the future, it is planned to seriously develop this technology, pairing it with all relevant banking systems, including online payments, so that people have the opportunity to replenish the card directly at the computer.

Map varieties

It should be noted that the Nai Almaty Card has several varieties, including:

1. Single transport map;
2. Schoolchild map;
3. Student;
4. Social.
5. Map of a veteran of the Great Patriotic War.

It can be noted that each of the above cards is aimed at the use of a certain category of citizens. For example, veterans, schoolchildren and students are not required to pay the full amount for travel, so less money is written off from their account than from a single one. Such a system is not only convenient but also capable of ensuring the constitutional rights of individuals in full and without exception.
