Product
A unified digital platform for urban mobility
STM Balance is a mobile platform for interacting with the STM system and urban mobility. It brings together STM card functions, public transport information, routes, stops, vehicle movements and other related services in a single digital interface.
Our goal
Our goal is to create a unified digital platform that expands the possibilities of the STM system: from managing the card and its balance to paying for a variety of urban services. STM Balance aims to bring urban mobility functions together in one application and provide users with a convenient tool to manage them according to their needs.
NFC
STM card reading via NFC on compatible mobile devices.
Real-time transport
Display of buses, stops and routes on the map with updated transport data.
Trip planning
Building travel options that take into account public transport routes, connections and walking segments.
STM services
Development of top-up functions, trip history, family cards and management of family members’ cards.
Urban ecosystem expansion
Integration of additional urban mobility services, including taxis, delivery, parking, micromobility and other areas.
Technology
A technology platform for modern urban mobility
