Scalable CIPURSE-based electronic fare collection systems are now being implemented in Russia by German company 6367 Infineon Technologies and Russian systems integrator Udobny Marshrut (UM). UM has started roll-out in Izhevsk and Angarsk; seven other metropolitan regions are planned to follow by end of 2016.
