As noted in a statement from the capital’s city hall, a model of the future system was developed as part of the MOVE IT like Lublin project, funded by European partners. Over a four-month period, it was tested on a trolleybus route at several locations equipped with 21 validators and the necessary equipment for ticket sales and monitoring.
The testing confirmed the solution’s viability in the context of the municipality of Chișinău. Subsequently, as part of the project, an Urban Mobility Plan was drawn up, which was later approved by the municipal council.
At the same time, implementation of the overall concept began; following testing, it was refined and is being presented today. It provides for the introduction of a unified electronic ticketing system for trolleybuses and buses. The system will allow passengers to use a transport card and, gradually, bank cards, mobile phones and other digital payment methods, whilst retaining traditional payment options for people who do not use banking services or smartphones.
Following the approval of the concept presented today by the municipal council, the next steps will involve preparing the tender documentation, launching an international tender, selecting a supplier, installing the equipment and rolling out the system across the entire municipal transport network.
