In Kyiv, they demand the introduction of cashless payment and GPS tracking of minibuses

A petition has been registered on the Kyiv City State Administration website regarding the control of private carriers

An electronic petition has been registered in Kyiv calling for private carriers to be required to provide cashless payment and to implement online tracking of minibus traffic. The corresponding appeal was published on the official portal of the Kyiv City State Administration.

Validators proposed to be installed in minibuses

The authors of the petition call on the Kyiv City Council to oblige private carriers to install validators for payment by bank cards in minibuses.

The appeal notes that a similar petition had already gained the necessary number of votes earlier, but after that no real changes for passengers occurred.

The initiators believe that the introduction of cashless payment will make the transportation system more transparent and convenient for Kyiv residents.

Passengers want to see the movement of minibuses online

In addition, the authors of the petition propose to equip minibuses with GPS trackers so that passengers can track transport movement in real time via mobile applications.

The text of the appeal notes that similar systems are already operating in other Ukrainian cities, in particular in Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Odesa and Zhytomyr.

According to the initiators, this will allow passengers to better plan their trips, as well as increase control over the work of carriers.

The authors claim losses to the city budget

The petition also notes that due to insufficient control over the activities of private carriers, the city budget may not receive significant funds every year.

The authors of the appeal are convinced that the digitalization of payment and monitoring of transport movement will help make the sphere of passenger transportation more open and controlled.

Petition Still Gathering Votes

The petition is currently open for signatures for another nine days. As of May 13, the appeal has been supported by 1,312 users.
