The holding "Russian Railways" has launched a new digital service at the largest railway stations in Russia - the ability to extend the rental of a storage locker in online mode. The solution is aimed at increasing convenience for passengers and developing contactless services in railway infrastructure.

Passengers have access to various locker options for storing luggage - standard, medium, and large, allowing for the selection of the optimal format depending on the volume of items. The flexible pricing system allows for rentals of 1, 3, 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours.
