SMSBUS is revolutionizing the way you pay for public transport in Kazakhstan with its electronic ticketing system. Now, you can enjoy cashless payment directly from your phone balance, and the best part? It's completely commission-free. To find out which cities and routes are covered, just head over to the official website at https://smsbus.kz.
When you're on board, simply show your electronic travel ticket on your phone to the control service employees or the driver to confirm your fare payment. Your ticket remains valid until you reach your final stop, and you can easily access it in the "Valid Tickets" section of the app. If you need to review past journeys, they're all stored in the "Travel details" section.
By choosing to pay for your travel through SMSBUS, you're agreeing to the service's rules, which you can find on their website at https://smsbus.kz.
Sometimes, payments from your phone balance might not go through. This could happen if your number is corporate, if you haven't repaid a trust payment, if you haven't topped up your balance since purchasing your number, if you haven't used up your starting balance, or if you've replaced your SIM card within the last 24 hours before trying to pay.
For even more convenience, you can open a free virtual transport card within the SMSBUS application. Regular and school virtual transit cards can be registered through self-service, while other preferential cards require a visit to the company's office with the necessary documents.
Topping up your virtual transport card is a breeze. You can use your card number directly in the SMSBUS app or through other applications like Kaspi Bank, Halyk Bank (homebank), and more.
The app uses certain system permissions to enhance your experience. The camera permission is used for scanning QR codes, ensuring the QR scan button functions smoothly. Location permission helps display accurate city/town maps, automatically detect buses for easy fare payment (by determining the bus code using the GPS locations of both the passenger and the bus), and to construct routes from your current location to your destination. You can input your destinations and departures directly on the map or use text addresses, with the route construction algorithm also considering transfers.
