Troika Top Up

The Moscow Troika card is acknowledged by all modes of public transportation and certain city services, such as the zoo and bike sharing. This application allows you to conveniently check the balance on your Troika card and purchase electronic tickets, which can be deposited directly to your card via your NFC-enabled device. This is the app that transit riders in Moscow have been anxiously anticipating! However, it is important to note that not all NFC-equipped smartphones are capable of reading the contactless chips used in Troika cards due to hardware limitations. Electronic tickets are stored within a Troika card's memory, and so it is necessary to use an NFC-enabled, compatible smartphone in order to write tickets onto the card. An electronic purse format is available for electronic tickets, enabling passengers to choose the desired purchase amount. More than 90 ticket types, including Moscow Central Diameters (MCD), Moscow Central Ring (MCR), and tickets for social cards (including students), are supported. To reserve funds, payment card information should be entered into the app. Please remember to hold your Troika card up to the antenna on your device when using it. Payment is only charged upon a successful write of a newly purchased ticket.
