E-tickets – payment documents
Ukrzaliznytsia has introduced e-ticketing solution for 91 passenger trains. This refers to the long distance domestic train routes available the year round, the press-office of the railway agency reports.
Since launching – from the beginning of 2013, 1,8 million electronic tickets have been sold.
With an e-ticket printed without a ticket clerk’s assistance, a passenger can board a train skipping a ticket office. An issue of e-tickets is suspended for one hour before the train departure.
The e-tickets are regarded to be payment documents (receipts for tax purpose). For example, this document can be used to report on a business trip.
A passenger can buy an e-ticket on-line only through the official website of Ukrzaliznytsia (booking.uz.gov.ua).
