Sobyanin spoke about plans to introduce biometrics on the IDC

In 2025-2026, the Moscow authorities plan to introduce biometric fare payments at all stations of the Moscow Ring Road, the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, said in his Telegram channel. About 1 million people per day will be able to use this payment method on the central diameters.

"In the fall of 2021, the system will be operational at metro stations. Now it is available on the MCC, regular river transport and Aeroexpress. Over 1.1 thousand turnstiles are connected to the system. This year, payment by biometrics will be available at all turnstiles of the metro and in urban land transport," said the mayor of the capital.

In addition, this year and next, the Moscow Metro, Moscow Transport, and Moscow Assistant mobile applications will be provided with new features for the convenience of Moscow transport passengers. So, this year, Moscow Transport will get additional useful functions — for example, it will be possible to rent chargers for smartphones with its help.
