The Troika card ^[1] (Russian: Тройка, Troika) 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 and automated Mosgortrans ticket kiosks. 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.

The 90-minute ticket fare is included on Troika, allowing passengers one ride on the metro or the Moscow Monorail plus an unlimited number of rides on surface transport within 90 minutes.

It is possible to purchase any ticket – Unified, 90 Minute, and TAT – for any number of rides, including unlimited tickets as well as unlimited rail passes and one-trip tickets on the suburban trains. However, this does not include passes for 10, 20, 60, and 90 trips.^[2]
