The Troika card () is a reusable contactless smart card used to pay for public transport in Moscow, including bus, trolleybus, or trams. It can also be used to pay for car parking, bicycle rental, and other city transport services. It was introduced on April 2, 2013. Passengers can buy a Troika card at any Metro ticket office or automated Mosgortrans ticket kiosk. They can top it up at Metro ticket windows and automated Metro vending machines as well as automated vending machines, mobile phone stores, and payment terminals or via the internet, SMS, electronic payment systems, and smartphone apps.
