Akademichesky tops the list of Yekaterinburg districts by the number of fare evaders.
Akademichesky has become the district of Yekaterinburg where passengers are less willing to pay for rides on public transport. This was reported to the 66.Ru portal by Nikita Ukhin, director of the Center for Transport Management.
Moreover, alongside Akademichesky, Khimmash and ZhBI are among the top three.
Earlier, the Yekaterinburg city hall’s transport department said they would begin catching fare dodgers on buses and trams in the first half of 2026. They will do this using sensors and a closed “heat map” of passenger flow.
Work is currently underway to create the “heat map,” which records the number of fare dodgers on routes. Sensors have already been installed, and they will continue to be fitted on new vehicles. Data on the number of transactions and occupancy is held by the company I-Set. For convenience, these will be displayed on a map to which employees of the Center for Transport Management will have access.
