Overheard: Moscow transport

Urban transportation in Moscow is like a fine wine; It gets better every year. Modern trains, electric buses, comfortable payment systems and the ability to charge the phone have changed the way users think about municipal transportation vehicles.

Now you can add another benefit to the list of privileges, because today payment by QR code for one-time trips has been implemented using the Fast Payment System (FPS). Until the end of the year, using the innovation, you will be able to return 15 rubles in the form of cashback. The main thing is to check your registration in the loyalty program on the vamprivet.ru website.

Paying for travel with cash refund through SBP on the metro, MCC and river transport is much easier than looking for a wallet at the bottom of your bag:

The payment algorithm for land transportation is no less simple:

The results speak for themselves; Moscow transportation is always about people. It’s about those who developed it and those who enjoy using it. We go to work together in the morning and then run home. We meet and part ways. We meet and say goodbye. We listen to music, we dream, we make plans, we feel sad and even cry. Moscow transport keeps millions of personal stories that each of us carefully “carries” to our family, friends and colleagues. Today we decided to go down to the metro, ride buses and trams and ask ordinary passengers what wonderful stories happened to them along the way.

Vanya, 14 years old

“This day will definitely be remembered for a long time. I was late at school, so I was very late for football practice and ran to the subway faster than an important match. When I entered the locker room, I was ready to change in a few seconds, but I realized that my uniform was not there. In a panic, I turned my entire backpack over, couldn’t find what was missing, had to skip class, and went home upset. That same evening, a miracle happened: My mother received a call from the sports center and was told that the subway workers had found my uniform. It turned out that the station master noticed our club’s emblem and decided to search the address to find out who it belonged to. I was shocked and couldn’t believe everything was resolved so easily!”

Alisa, 25 years old

“Oh, there are such days! I was getting on the tram, listening to music with my headphones, and suddenly I felt something hit my hand. I opened my eyes and saw a wasp! For the first minute I froze and tried to figure out what to do: move my hand or sit still. That’s when the adrenaline kicked in and I started to brush it off. Turns out I hit the woman sitting across from me with my phone like a racket! At first he was surprised, then when he realized I was trying to scare the wasps away he started laughing. “I’m sorry, he’s attacking me,” I said and we both started laughing.

Evgenia, 35 years old

“I never thought that I would meet my love in the Moscow Central Circle! This happened on a normal workday. Sitting on the windowsill, I noticed a young man with a book in his hand. I couldn’t help but notice that this was my favorite detective story. When the train started moving, I decided to ask him if he liked the book. We started talking and it turned out we had a lot in common. It turned out that he also worked nearby and often went to MCC. We met at a coffee shop a few days later and we’ve been dating for five years ever since. “I now remember every trip to MCC with a smile because this is not just transportation, it is where our history begins!”

Artem, I am 27 years old

“I once found myself in a rather strange situation. My girlfriend and I had a fight before we left the house, so we didn’t talk while standing at the bus stop. As I was boarding the plane, I got distracted, lost track, and sat next to a random woman wearing a similar blue jacket. Not realizing that anything was wrong, I decided to take the first step towards reconciliation – I hugged my neighbor and almost kissed him. At that moment the voice came: “What are you doing? Leave me alone!” My face turned red and I had to explain to the stranger what had happened. Fortunately, he was very kind and just laughed at what had happened. I apologized and immediately turned to my real girlfriend, who could not control her laughter and tears. Since then, we often remember this moment and “We sometimes joke that we will have to change the jacket to avoid confusion.”

Mikhail, 30 years old

“I worked for many years in a job I did not like. Every day brought the same thing: routine tasks and lack of passion. I felt like I was wasting my time and potential. One day, while traveling by tram along the river, I accidentally struck up a conversation with the man next to me. We discussed everything from weather conditions to work challenges. And what surprised me was that he turned out to be the president of the company that I had dreamed of for a long time. In the conversation, I talked about my desires and goals. He listened carefully and eventually offered me an open position – just what I had dreamed of. It was incredible! I never thought that a conversation on a water bus could change my life. “Now I work with a team that inspires me every day and I finally feel like I’m on the right track.”
