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.

A total of two million people are eventually expected to benefit from customised, easy-to-use and particularly secure ticketing solutions for public transportation.

Unlike the proprietary solutions currently in use in Russia, CIPURSE allows the development of a large variety of ticketing products, from smart cards with annual or monthly validity to single use electronic paper tickets and even multifunctional identification documents.
