November 5, Fineko/abc.az. By the end of this year, all route buses in Baku will be equipped with fully operational NFC payment system, ABC.AZ informs, referring to K Group LLC, the operator of BakiKart system used in capital's public transport.

The development will enable passengers to use a convenient unified payment system across both the metro and bus networks.

Currently, all Baku Metro stations support payments via bank cards with NFC, as well as through Apple Pay and Google Pay.

The NFC system also allows passengers to make a single trip even if their card temporarily lacks sufficient funds - the balance can be topped up later.

Earlier, QR payment system was also introduced, with which metro and bus passengers in the capital and the surrounding area can pay for travel through a mobile application without a physical card.
