The mayor's press service clarified that after the mass launch of the national digital currency of the Bank of Russia, residents of the capital will be able to pay in digital rubles not only for travel, but also for other transport services. For example, it will be possible to pay for parking in Moscow.
In addition, it is planned to sign the first smart contract in Russia for insurance of rolling stock of urban transport in digital rubles. According to the Moscow city administration, this will allow automating contractual procedures and ensuring control over the fulfillment of obligations.
