Denis Tonkonog, Head of the Department for Coordinating the Work of Stations of the Passenger Service of the Belarusian Railways Department, told IT.TUT.BY that the terminal prints tickets on strict accountability forms, which are agreed with the Council for Railway Transport of the Commonwealth Member States, and are accepted by carriers in the CIS. It may be necessary to print tickets for accounting purposes.
"In the future, it will be possible to purchase a ticket through the terminal using payment cards. For now, this option is disabled. There is still work to be done on writing a program for interacting with the banking system. All these issues are complicated, since it will be necessary to certify the equipment and software in the banking processing center. In addition, the equipment is tied to the interstate licensing system. This is a rather complicated procedure. For the time being, we will use these terminals to print out tickets and, in parallel, carry out work on connecting to the banking system", Denis Tonkonog told us.
Recall that since September 2012, the Belarusian Railways began an experiment on the introduction new service, which allows you not to buy a ticket at the box office, but to order it and pay via the Internet on the BR website. At that time, only payment cards of Belarusian banks connected to Internet banking were accepted for payment, as well as through the system electronic money Easy Pay and WebMoney. The advantage of electronic registration is that the travel document cannot be lost or damaged. You can order a ticket on the website no later than 1 hour before the departure of the train from the initial station of its route. Boarding of passengers is carried out upon presentation of an identity document, on the basis of which an electronic travel document was issued.
As the press service of the Belarusian Railways notes, in 2013, 583.1 thousand train tickets were purchased through the online system for selling travel documents, including 382.6 thousand tickets with "electronic registration".
If you need a paper ticket or you are following a route that is not valid for electronic registration, then we advise you to pay attention to the page with a complete list of ticket sales points and their opening hours. It is possible that you may not know about some of them.
