To pass, you need to open the ticket in the application, select the option “NFC Pass” and attach the smartphone to the validator. The new method will eliminate the need to scan the barcode and change the brightness of the screen.
But not all turnstiles will work this way, passengers should pay attention to special stickers that will indicate the availability of the new feature.
Earlier it was reported that from September 18, 2026, the schedule of suburban trains on five directions of the October railway will change due to a decrease in passenger traffic. This will affect the Moscow, Northern, Finnish, Vitebsk and Baltic directions.
