In 10 cities of the Grodno region, you can now pay with the common 'Busel' card
Starting January 22, 'Grodnooblautotrans' is launching a new fare payment system in 10 cities of the Grodno region: Lida, Slonim, Volkovysk, Smorgon, Novogrudok, Oshmyany, Shchuchyn, Ostrovets, Mosty, Skidel, reports 'Grodnenskaya Pravda'.
To pay for travel on city buses, simply tap the 'Busel' transport card to the validator.
Before starting the trip, the driver activates the system by tapping their special card to the validator. Then, upon entering the bus, the passenger taps the 'Busel' transport card to the validator – the device will record the payment in less than 1 second and display one of the following screens:
-
Green – operation successful, the cost of a single trip ticket is debited from the card;
-
Red – error or failed attempt. It is possible that the 'Busel' card has run out of recorded trips or is damaged;
-
Yellow – fare already paid. The 'Busel' transport card only allows payment for one passenger. If an attempt is made to pay for multiple people, the operation will be automatically rejected by the system.
During a fare check, the controller will switch the validators to control mode, which will block them. The passenger must present their card to the controller by tapping it to a special mobile device with the installed program.
Information about the remaining number of trips can be found by tapping the 'Busel' transport card to the validator.
