From September 1, you will have to pay the fare when boarding the bus
If the fare is not paid when boarding the bus, the passenger is considered to be traveling without a ticket and may be subject to a fine.
Starting from September 1, 2026, the procedure for paying fares on all city buses will change. On buses operating on a gross-rate basis, passengers will be required to pay the fare immediately upon boarding the vehicle.
Payment can be made by tapping a transport or social card on a validator, as well as using a bank card, smartphone, and other contactless payment methods.
If a passenger does not pay the fare or confirm their privilege upon boarding the bus, they are considered a ticketless passenger and may be subject to a fine.
