Information about innovations in the field of travel control in the city passenger transport of Minsk appears regularly and is also steadily growing in word-of-mouth messages. From the latter - when collecting a fine “at the scene of the crime”, the stowaway now certainly needs to present a passport. And now the inspectors entering the transport are bombarded with a lot of questions, and even critical arrows - clearly in the wrong place. So, let's do a hearing test.

Many controllers have recently become much more tolerant of sometimes overly excited passengers. They do not prevent emergency self-evacuation of hares at a stop before the start of checking tickets and strongly advise you to still pay for the fare: very soon, auditors without the signature blue vests may appear not only on trams, but also on trolleybuses. Of course, a badge, a reading device and another important identifying mark of a modern Minsk auditor - a video recorder - will help a vigilant free rider identify a representative of the Minsktrans agency. But not everyone has keen vision and lightning-fast reactions. Therefore, thousands of people are charged every month in the capital for violating the established order. Of the total number of fines, only about two thirds pay the required amount on the spot. They are the ones who are mostly indignant. I supposedly violated it, but I paid, so why show the documents? Is a receipt really not enough? Not everyone carries a passport with them every day. It is clear that when a stowaway is asked to get off the bus and a protocol on an administrative offense is drawn up - in this document it is necessary to indicate the surname and initials. In other cases, why bother with paperwork?
To bring a person to justice, we need to know his last name, first name, patronymic and passport details,” explains Vitaly Budrevich, deputy head of the control and audit service of the State Enterprise Minsktrans. - For this you need a passport or residence permit. This is the procedure: this information is included in the decision to impose an administrative penalty. The passenger is issued a receipt. Information about the identity of the offender will subsequently be entered into the unified database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
A similar requirement, it turns out, existed before. Although, I think, many passengers will remember cases when everything was done without presenting a passport. On the other hand, there is no doubt that the documentation must be in order. And the inspectors, by the way, notice: those who pay the fine on the spot almost always have the necessary documents with them. So, maybe the problem is not worth a damn? But here is another aspect of the relationship between controllers and free riders. If you always need a passport, what’s the point of paying right away, especially when you don’t have a lot of money with you? Still, 11 rubles 50 kopecks is a considerable amount for some. Isn’t it better then to provide your information and wait for the notification to arrive in order to pay the fine through the bank? But this is again unnecessary paperwork and wasted time. And, presumably, it is more logical for Minsktrans to receive money as quickly as possible. As noted by the general director of the enterprise, Leonty Papenok, daily losses from free riders amount to about 40 thousand rubles, with revenue from sold travel cards and coupons in the region of 400 thousand rubles...

FACT
Conductors will not return to ground passenger transport in Minsk: according to Minsktrans specialists, more than 40% of the proceeds from the tickets they sold were spent on their maintenance.
BY THE WAY
There will be more inspectors in Minsk. There are more than 2,000 units of rolling stock in the city, while the control and audit service employs only about 220 people. Soon the staff is expected to increase to 260 employees.
LETTER OF THE LAW
In accordance with the rules of road transport of passengers, the passenger is obliged to purchase a ticket in a timely manner and pay the fare in full, unless otherwise provided by law, from the driver, at the ticket office of the passenger terminal or other points of sale - before the start of the trip, from the conductor (if available) - until the next stop.
STAY UP TO DATE
Employees of the control and audit service have the right:
Check the timeliness and completeness of payment for travel and baggage by passengers;
Draw up protocols on administrative violations;
Issue a resolution to impose an administrative penalty, which comes into force from the moment it is issued;
Collect fines on the spot;
If a passenger violates the norms of the current legislation and refuses to pay a fine, as well as the impossibility of establishing his identity due to failure to present the relevant documents, contact the internal affairs bodies to establish his identity and draw up a protocol on the administrative offense;
Detain a person who has committed an administrative offense for transfer to authorized state bodies when he tries or may escape.
WHAT ABOUT THEM?
In Geneva, data on free riders is entered into the city public transport information database, and a repeated violation will cost significantly more.
In Paris, the amount of the fine depends on the time within which the hare pays the amount. Sometimes it increases 6 times.
In Vienna, if the fine for traveling without a ticket is not paid within 3 days from the date of issue, the amount increases.
Every passenger is required to pay for travel on public transport, especially since there are many payment methods. However, sometimes citizens forget about this and try to travel for free. In this case, such a passenger may be forced to pay a fine for traveling without a ticket.
How long does it take to pay a fine for traveling without a ticket?
Traveling without a ticket on a bus or subway is an administrative offense. Therefore, an appropriate administrative fine is provided for this. It must be paid only after an authorized person has drawn up a resolution and issued a receipt.
The receipt must contain the following information:
- resolution number;
- amount;
- date of commission of the offense.
To issue a document, the controller is obliged to use the personal documents of the violator. If he does not provide a passport, the official has the right to hand over the stowaway to the police for identification. Therefore, it is better not to interfere with the controller performing its duties.
In 2019, the fine for ticketless travel on the metro or bus is 1 thousand rubles. If the violator unlawfully uses the discount card, then the amount will be 2 thousand 500 rubles.
Information: the payment deadline according to Russian legislation is 60 days. Any payment method can be chosen.
Where to pay a fine for traveling without a ticket
There are many ways to pay various fines and other payments to the state. Previously, this required going to the bank, but with the development of technology, you can pay a fine for ticketless travel on the subway and bus:
- using Internet banking;
- through terminals and ATMs;
- through virtual payment systems;
- on the State Services website.
The choice depends on the preferences and capabilities of the free rider.
How to pay a fine for traveling without a ticket through Sberbank Online
If the violator has a Sberbank card, then paying the fine will not take him much time. Especially if you have access to online banking. Then the payer does not need to use an ATM to deposit money or personally visit a bank branch.
The algorithm of actions is as follows:
Paying a fine through Sberbank Online is quite simple. The money is credited instantly, and the procedure itself takes only a few minutes. In addition, you can download a similar application to your phone and make transfers at any time.
How to pay a fine for traveling without a ticket through State Services
One of the simplest and most convenient ways to deposit funds via the Internet is the State Services portal. This is especially convenient for residents of Moscow, St. Petersburg and other large cities. Payment through the State Services website is carried out as follows:
- The payer needs to go to the website and log in (register).
- Then go to the “Fines” section.
- Provide the required information from the receipt.
- Select payment method. You can transfer money from a card, e-wallet, or mobile phone.
- The transaction is usually carried out after confirmation via SMS.
How to pay a fine for traveling without a ticket if you have lost your receipt
To enable the violator to pay an administrative fine, a special receipt is provided. But since the payment period is quite long (two months), the document can easily be lost. However, this is not a reason why a stowaway can avoid the obligation to pay the penalty.
Therefore, you will still have to pay a fine for traveling without a ticket if you suddenly lost your receipt.
So, if the payer somehow managed to lose the receipt, he needs to do the following:
- Open the Transportation Organizer website.
- Go to the “Payment of fines” tab.
- Print the form that opens.
- Fill out and pay the fine.
When there is no receipt, the details of the decision are indicated. You can find out about them by contacting this organization.
Other payment methods
Any passenger can be fined, even if he simply did not have time to pay the fare. And while young people can easily deposit money online, older offenders may have problems with this. Therefore, if it is not possible to use modern technologies, you can deposit money through a bank cash desk. To do this you need:
- Send to the nearest bank branch. This can be any institution, so it is not necessary to be its client.
- You must have a passport or any other identification document with you.
- A receipt is also provided. You can pay with a card from the same bank or in cash.
- A receipt will be issued after payment. It needs to be preserved.
Another option for depositing money is through various terminals and ATMs. A suitable device can be found at a bank or shopping center. The rules of use are as follows:
- First you need to decide what your payment method will be. If using a card, then you should select a terminal with the appropriate functions.
- Next, you need to insert the card and enter the PIN code. If payment is made in cash, you can immediately open the device menu.
- Select the desired section. This could be “Payments and transfers” or “Payment for services”.
- Next, you need to open the “Fines, taxes” tab.
- Go to the “Transport Organizer” section.
- Enter receipt details.
- Amount.
- If necessary, deposit cash.
- Click "Pay".
- Pick up the check.
In addition to the above methods, the payer can use any virtual payment system, for example, WebMoney or Qiwi. Naturally, his electronic wallet must contain the required amount.
Is it possible to avoid paying a fine?
By law, the violator has 60 days to pay the fine. But this does not mean that he can appeal the decision during this entire period. The payer has only 10 days after the decision is made to contact the appropriate authority. If a claim has not been filed in court during this time, the violator will have to pay a fine.
If a citizen refuses to pay, after 2 months the amount of the penalty increases by 2 times. In addition, another administrative penalty may be applied to the violator. We are talking about arrest for 15 days. Hardcore violators often face a ban on traveling abroad.
A thousand rubles is a small amount, so you shouldn’t delay paying the fine. If we talk about going to court, then in this case it is pointless. Firstly, the claim may not be satisfied and you still have to pay. Secondly, a penalty and legal costs will have to be added to the amount of the fine. And in order not to encounter such problems, it is better to purchase tickets. Then you won’t have to conflict with the controller and pay an administrative penalty.

Where can I learn about the procedure for selling travel documents by bank transfer?
On the company’s website in the section “Structure” → “Branch” → “Agency” → “Sale of ticket products for legal entities” (or by clicking on ), as well as by phone: 246-98-45, 246-98-11, 246 -98-48 (fax).
How is information read from the BSK* if several different types of travel documents are recorded on it?
Example 1. Recorded on BSK* two type of travel document:
- travel document for 15 days (without travel limit) for a metro bus (1st PD);
- a travel document for 40 trips on a bus-trolleybus-tram (2nd PD).
At the moment the BSK* is applied to the validator, information from the 1st PD is considered first, before the start (or after the end) of the validity period of the 1st PD, as well as in the absence of any type of transport in it (in this example, a trolleybus, tram) the trip will be written off from the 2nd PD.
Example 2. Recorded on BSK* three type of travel document:
- travel document for 10 days (without travel limit) for the metro trolleybus (1st PD);
- a travel document for 3 days (without a travel limit), subject to combination with city line trains, for tram-train city lines (2nd PD);
- a travel document for 20 trips on a bus-trolleybus-tram (3rd PD).
At the moment of applying the BSC*, the validator first considers information from unlimited travel documents for a day. So in a trolleybus and metro, information from the 1st PD is counted, and in a tram and city line trains, at the moment of the first application, the 2nd PD is activated. Before the start (or after the end) of the validity period of the 1st PD and (or) the 2nd PD, as well as in the absence of any type of transport (in this example, a bus), the 3rd PD will be valid.

BSK* contains two travel documents for a certain number of trips (for example, 60 and 10) for the same types of transport (for example: bus-trolleybus-tram). How will trips be written off, given their different validity periods?
Example 1. The passenger purchased a travel document for 60 trips on a bus-trolleybus-tram (1st PD) and a travel document for 10 trips on a bus-trolleybus-tram (2nd PD). At the moment the BSC* is applied to the validator, trips from the 2nd PD will be written off first, since the validity period of the 2nd PD (60 days) is less than the 1st PD (80 days). After the expiration of the validity period or trips of the 2nd PD, trips will be written off from the 1st PD.
Example 2. The passenger purchased a travel document for 60 trips on a bus-trolleybus-tram (1st PD) and has already begun confirming payment by applying the BSK* to the validator on the bus or trolleybus or tram, and after some time (for example, 20 days) replenished BSK* with a travel document for 10 trips on a bus-trolleybus-tram (2nd PD), in this situation, trips will be written off as follows.
For the first 20 days, trips will be written off from the 1st PD, and from the moment the BSC* is replenished with the 2nd PD, trips from the 2nd PD will begin to be written off due to the fact that the validity period of the 2nd PD (60 days) is less than the 1st PD (80 days). After the expiration of the validity period or trips of the 2nd PD, trips will be written off from the 1st PD.
Dear passengers, we draw your attention to the fact that the validity of travel documents for a certain number of trips (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 100) begins from the date of their purchase at points of sale of travel documents indicated in the information receipt.

The validator (subway turnstile) does not display the balance (remaining trips) of the 2nd travel document for a certain number of trips (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 100)
If the BSK* has two travel documents for a certain number of trips (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 100), when the BSK* is repeatedly applied to the validator in the passenger compartment on the validator (or when the BSK* is applied to the validator for the first time in metro at the turnstile) the balance of the travel document with the shortest validity period (1 TD) is displayed. After the expiration of the 1st TD, the balance of the second travel document will be displayed.
You can verify the availability of two travel documents at BSK* for a certain number of trips (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 100) at points of sale of travel documents, using an information check, as well as on the display of self-service terminals of BPS-Sberbank OJSC "

A person uses public transport services every day. There is a charge for travel. Verification of compliance with this requirement is entrusted to special inspectors - a controller, driver or ticket taker. Traveling as a “hare” threatens with quick exposure, a reprimand and a fine for traveling without a ticket. Such a passenger will definitely be removed from the transport. However, this is not all the punishment he can suffer. If the fine is not paid on time, the citizen will be held administratively liable.
How to pay a fine for traveling without a ticket?
There are several options for paying a fine for traveling without a ticket. In order to save time and additional costs, passengers can pay the collection via the Internet, terminal, State Services or through a bank. When transferring funds, you must indicate your passport identification number, as well as the code that is indicated in the payment receipt or in the resolution on the administrative violation committed. Such an identifier will indicate exactly the event that occurred with a specific passenger. If the code is not specified, then finding a fine from the entire set of offenses will be quite difficult, given that many of them have standard amounts.
If suddenly the identifier was not indicated in the protocol, the number can be checked on the public services portal of the city where the incident occurred. To do this you need to go to the website Public services and enter the series and number of the protocol that was issued when the fine was imposed. The user will see the “Details” section, where the “Identifiers” tab is selected.
Series and number decisions on administrative offense must be entered without using spaces. The Cyrillic alphabet is used to indicate the series.
Methods of paying a fine for traveling without a ticket
