In Minsk, from 6 November, fares on bus and trolleybus No. 1 can be paid by QR code

From 6 November 2026, passengers in Minsk can pay the fare on bus No. 1 ("DS Vesnianka – Railway Station") and trolleybus No. 1 by QR code through the M-Belarusbank mobile app. This was reported by Minsktrans.

Passengers need to find the sticker with the QR code inside the vehicle. Then, in the M-Belarusbank app, they open the "Payments" section and select "Pay by QR code".

For inspection, passengers show the electronic ticket in the app. It is in the "Journal" menu (or "Recent payments").

Any bank card registered in M-Belarusbank will work, including one issued by another bank.

Information about the new payment method appeared on the Minsktrans website on 5 November, MYFIN reported.

According to Minsktrans, the innovation will work only on two routes: bus No. 1 and trolleybus No. 1.

On the same routes, fare payment by bank card through validators is already being tested. The QR code becomes another payment method alongside it.

Minsktrans calls the new method a pilot step toward expanding cashless payment on the city's surface transport.
