How to use it?
To use a QR ticket, you will need a validator — a reader mounted on the turnstiles in the metro and in each public transport passenger cabin:
The passage of persons crossing the state border is controlled by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine based on their valid documents authorising entry to or exit from the territory of Ukraine. The passage of vehicles, cargoes, goods and other property across the border is governed by the law in force and international treaties of Ukraine.
Here’s a video guide on how to correctly scan a QR ticket.
Only confirmation of payment on the validator is a proof for a controller that the ticket has been used. The ticket will be automatically deleted after 2 hours since its use, and the record of the use will be saved in the update feed.
