Contactless bank cards project

One of the most visible innovations introduced by the City – with the aim of making public transport a more attractive option and thus reducing the environmental impact of transport – is the introduction of a system enabling passengers to pay using contactless bank cards. This makes it considerably easier for passengers to use the system and has boosted the number of users (including visitors to Ostrava).

Ostrava was only the second European city (after London) to introduce an electronic passenger payment system of this type, ranking it among Europe’s top cities in using modern electronic systems.
