It is now possible to pay the fare by scanning the hand at the Tashkent metro stations.

Handpay, a system that allows you to pay the fare by scanning your hand, can be launched at the stations of the Tashkent metro. It is said to be launched after the Face ID system covers all stations. The Handpay (by hand scanning) payment system can be launched at the stations of the Tashkent metro. A representative of the ATTO payment system informed Gazeta.uz about this at the ICTExpo exhibition. According to the chief specialist of the company, Otabek Alimov, this innovation was created in cooperation with the Ministry of Transport and the UZINFOCOM company. "Today we are demonstrating the Handpay system as part of the exhibition. Customers pay by showing their hand to the scanner. To use this service, you need to enter information in our app, like Facepay [a system that allows you to pay the fare with a person's face], which is currently being tested at the Great Silk Road metro station. At the same time, the opinions and suggestions of the population regarding the new system are being studied," he said. Speaking about when it will be launched, the expert noted that the Facepay system will start after 100% coverage of all metro stations and people get used to it. Instructions on its use will be developed. In September, testing of the Face ID device at both entrances of the Great Silk Road metro station began. If the test is successful, it is said that this system will appear in other stations as well.
