Belarusian Railways has started selling tickets to European countries online.
For the sake of improving the quality of service and developing online sales of international service tickets Belarusian Railways has introduced a new technology to sell digital tickets on its website, explained the company’s press service. For now customers are invited to buy tickets to Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, France, Czech Republic and Hungary. At the moment customers do not need to register on the website to buy tickets online. However, to make online tickets valid, they have to register them in special ticket offices of Belarusian Railways.
Belarusian Railways also offers online refund options for tickets acquired via the Belarusian online payment facilitation system ASSIST and the Internet banking service of Belarusbank, the country’s largest bank. In the near future Belarusian Railways intends to gradually introduce online registration for international service passengers, including in direct service railway cars. Once it is done, passengers, who buy tickets online, will not have to register their tickets in offline ticket offices. (BelTA/Business World Magazine)
