Kcell announces that activ\u00ae users will be able to pay for public transport in the city of Almaty via SMS sent from the mobile phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are constantly working on enhancing the capacity of our subscribers through the use of mobile technologies. Today, we are pleased to offer the way of payment for travelling by Almaty public transport through the use of the most convenient, easy and affordable method \u2013 through SMS. Our new mobile financial services will help to make a trip of Almaty residents and guests of the largest metropolis of the country even more comfortable. We also hope that this service will increase the number of passengers who have opted for moving around the city by public transport\u201d,<\/em> \u2013 said Arti Ots, CEO of Kcell JSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, the SMS\u2013payment is available for the following routes of buses: 2, 3, 5, 5A, 5B, 12, 18, 29, 29R, 30, 32, 34, 37, 38, 38A, 42, 45, 47, 50, 63, 66, 72, 73, 79, 80, 81, 92, 107, 109, 112, 115, 118, 120, 121, 126, 128, 135, and also for the below routes of trolleybuses: 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 19 and 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The service of sending an SMS to short number 2505 \u2013 is free with no operator\u2019s commissions. The fare corresponds to the established tariff for urban public transport and the city of Almaty and amounts to 80 tenge, which are withdrawn from the subscriber’s account balance. If the erroneous transport code is sent, no withdrawal from the customer’s account takes place. The e\u2013ticket is valid only for one public transport trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The users of smartphones (Android and IOS) will be available to use the mobile application \u201cSMSBUS Passenger\u201d. This application sends and receives the SMS, and also displays the shopping receipts in the form of QR\u2013codes, designed to automatically scanning by conductors when checking the fact of payment for the travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To pay for the travel, it will be required to send an SMS with the transport code to short number 2505. The leaflets contain the instructions upon travel payment through the SMS. The transport code is specified in the leaflets, glued inside the buses and trolleybuses. As proof of payment, the passenger receives a trading check in the form of the SMS, which serves as an electronic ticket for travelling. The passenger must keep an SMS with the trading check up to the end of the trip and must present it to conductors when the fact of payment for the travel is checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By sending an SMS\u2013message to short number 2505, the passenger agrees to the rules of use of the service \u201cSMSBUS\u201d. The rules details can be found on the website http:\/\/smsbus.kz<\/a>. The service is not designed for the privileged categories of citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The technical solution under the brand \u201cSMSBUS\u201d has been developed by Kazakhstani company \u201cITECO\u201d with the support of Almaty City Akimat. \u201cWOOPPAY\u201d LLP acted as the partner of Kcell in the implementation of this service. In the future, Kcell plans to launch a similar service for Kcell subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An example of an electronic ticket for travelling along the bus route \u201829\u2019 with the transport code 590 is given below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n CHEK: 0001:567890<\/p>\n\n\n\n SUMMA: 80 TEH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DATA: 26.06.2016 10:42:31<\/p>\n\n\n\n TRANSPORT: 590<\/p>\n\n\n\n ABONENT: 7771112233<\/p>\n\n\n\n OPLATA: 1971335<\/p>\n\n\n\n TOO GREEN BUS COMPANY<\/p>\n\n\n\n BIN: 160141026320<\/p>\n\n\n\n The details of travel payments can be found on the website http:\/\/smsbus.kz<\/a>, pointing out own mobile phone number, and any number of payment for the last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kcell announces that activ\u00ae users will be able to pay for public transport in the city of Almaty via SMS sent from the mobile phones. \u201cWe are constantly working on enhancing the capacity of our subscribers through the use of mobile technologies.
