the user goes to the website and buys a new ticket for Ekarta;
the system includes this purchase in a special log of transactions for deferred ticket purchases;
the log is uploaded by the system to all terminals;
the ticket purchased by the user is loaded onto the card at the time of the next fare payment (now this can be done on the EMUP TTU and EMUP MOAP routes);
if the ticket purchase operation actually took place and there is a record of this in the journal, then information about the purchase is recorded on the card and at the same time the cost of the current trip is deducted. In this case, the passenger receives 2 checks: one for replenishment, the other for payment of travel.

If the number is entered correctly, the Ecard balance and the available tariff are displayed on the screen. The card is topped up only at the current rate, and the service commission is 1% of the amount.

In the “Payment Options” block you need to enter the desired replenishment amount, the commission amount and the total amount will be calculated by the system automatically. To complete the payment procedure, you need to click on “Pay”.

In a new window, enter the bank card details (number, expiration date and CVC2/CVV2), and click the “Pay” button. The procedure is completed after entering the code, which comes in an SMS message to the contact phone number.

Conclusion

From everything it follows that paying for an E CARD in Yekaterinburg is quite simple, since there are many possibilities for this action; a user of any age and with any abilities will be able to find a replenishment option in a convenient way for themselves, which is a very important point for the convenience of paying for travel.

Yekaterinburg residents will have the opportunity to replenish their E-card without leaving home. If now this can only be done at special points of sale and replenishment (terminals, Rospechat kiosks, branches of the Unified Center), then soon it will be possible using a mobile phone, computer or tablet.

As Pavel Vedernikov, general director of the I-Network company (E-card operator), told the Portal website journalist, in 2015 the city launched a system for remote replenishment of electronic travel cards using the Wallet mobile application. To do this, it was enough to create a virtual bank card (they are issued by Tinkoff, Russian Standard and St. Petersburg) and transfer money from it. In 2016, it became possible to check the card balance and change tariffs.

Pavel Vedernikov, CEO of I-Network:

Soon it will be enough to go to the website and deposit the required amount using the card number. The next day (or after some time) the card will need to be attached to the replenishment point: these are already used, for example, in the Moscow metro. In the second half of this year they will appear at Ekaterinburg metro stations.

Vedernikov clarified that this innovation will work after the new public transport system is launched in Yekaterinburg. At that time, a time-based tariff will be introduced.

As the general director of I-Network has already explained, it will operate in this way: the passenger will need to touch the card to the validator or to the turnstile, and the device will set an electronic cutoff for the passage time on it. “After transplantation, the tag is read again and the time interval is determined. If an hour and a half has passed, then the turnstile simply does not allow entry into the cabin. In Yekaterinburg, conductors will do this,” says Vedernikov.

“E-cards” are reprogrammed for all this. However, a representative of the integrator company says that this procedure is carried out regularly, so it will not be expensive.

What is an E-card

In a narrow sense, it is a plastic RFID card (radio frequency identification card), from which information is read by special devices - validators. In a broader sense, this is an entire citywide system that operates on buses, trolleybuses, subways and trams. In ground modes of transport, validators are portable devices that are issued to controllers or drivers. In the metro, validators are installed in turnstiles at the entrance.

The system is used by the majority of urban carriers and is serviced by the largest financial organizations in Yekaterinburg. The E-card is also used in some schools to allow students to pass through the turnstile.

Types of cards

There are several different types of E-card. Outwardly, they all look the same, on one side there is the card emblem in the center and its name on a white background, as well as the coat of arms of Yekaterinburg in the lower right corner. The cards differ in different tariffs and have different designs on the reverse side:

Citizen card. The color of the reverse side is blue. Not commercially available, can only be ordered. Valid only if there is a photograph of the owner on it. Provided to pensioners or other beneficiaries.
