Reviews of UEC
According to the reviews about the universal electronic card, in practice the implementation of the project, things are not so rosy as expected.
For example, Tula oblast became the leader, in terms of number of applications on the issue of the UEC. This activity Tulyakov was caused not by the high interest in the possibilities of the card the fact that 2015 has been significantly raised fares, and the right to pay the old prices were only the owners of the UEC. However, in practice it turned out that the transport maps app works intermittently at best. Many were unable to pay the fare using the card. Tula oblast is not the only region where there is problems with the payment with UEC because it does not always read by the validators.
In some regions of unprecedented banking application cards, and payment via PRO100 does not accept every point. To access gosuslugi with UEC necessary to purchase a reader for the card. They are not available everywhere and is still quite expensive (about 1000 rubles). As a means of identifying the card is also accepted everywhere. That is, for many owners, the UEC is still just plastic.
