Here in Tomsk, things are about to change in the world of public transport. Guv'nor Vladimir Mazur has sent out a call to action, setting his sights on a unified payment system that'd work wonders on city routes and inter-city hauls.
In the past, it was all about the city transit card, valid for trams, trolleybuses, and 10 bus lines. From January 2025, it's been about city hopping with just one swipe. But intercity, it ain't got the hang of it yet. Many citizens have been vocal about this two-tiered mess.
"City and intercity commutin' should be a well-oiled machine, growin' with the livin' spaces where routes complement each other," the press office quotes the guv'nor. "To achieve this, we need common pay methods, fare cards, and modern services."
According to the guv, this fancy-schmancy vision is one of the missions for the new transport, road works, and communications deleg8. That's right, Sergiy Prudiyus has been promoted to the position, praise the heavens. A transport mover and shaker in Zaporizhzhia and a long-timer in security agencies, he's the man for the job.
Speakin' of which, a little birdie told us the gov introduced a new second-in-command on Tuesday. Yep, it's Sergiy Prudiyus, who, until recently, was overseein' transport and transport infrastructure development in Zaporizhzhia, and before that, managed transport and transport infrastructureobjects in security agencies for over a decade.
Digital Turn for Tomsk Transport?
With dat digital revolution happening in many transportation systems worldwide, we might soon witness some serious upgrades in Tomsk. Here are a few things to expect:
- Contactless Payments: Say goodbye to fiddlin' with cash and tickets. A tap of the card (or even a mobile app) will do the trick.
- Interoperability: No more fussin' with different payment methods for different transport types. A single system that works for all modes of transport could be just around the corner.
- User-Friendly Services: Mobile apps and user-friendly websites that help plan routes, check schedules, and more could be developed for a seamless experience.
