Two Moscow railway stations are trialling face recognition tech to replace traditional tickets and travel cards.
TsPPK, the company which runs commuter trains around the Russian capital, said that they wanted the new scheme to cut down (сократить) on overcrowding at ticket barriers.
Based at Kievskaya and Solnechnaya railway stations, the pilot project will test whether cameras can identify (установить личность) passengers quickly and accurately enough to allow them onto the platform hassle-free (легко).
The scheme is currently only open to TsPPK’s 8,000 employees — a small percentage of the hundreds of thousands of people who use the trains each day.
