No more tokens in the subway?
Kiev Metro Administration proposes to completely abandon tokens and go to the electronic card. To do this, the capital’s subway will take about 2-3 years.
As the adviser to the head of KP “Kiev underground” Natalia Makogon, such changes in the first place will save time, people who spend about 80 seconds a day standing in line.
“Passenger spends 80 seconds of standing in line for tokens, card payment will reduce this process several times,” – Makogon says.
First badges disappear at stations with low ridership, and later on the rest. In addition PayPas accelerate the development of the banking system – is to cover travel it uses about 15.5 thousand passengers per day.
