Transport Card Chelyabinsk is an unofficial online service that brings together useful tools for people using public transport in Chelyabinsk. Its main feature lets users check the current balance of a transport card by entering the number printed on its reverse or, on supported devices, reading it via NFC. The service is free and requires no registration; card numbers are stored only on the user’s device.

Beyond balance checks, the site provides a history of journeys, including expense summaries by day and route, and an online map showing city trams, trolleybuses, and buses. Users can also check whether a bank card has been placed on the transport system’s stop-list and follow transport news, including route, fare, and service changes. The site can be used in a browser or installed on a phone as an app, with NFC reading available in Chrome on Android and through the Android app on compatible phones. Information on balances, trips, and vehicle movement comes from city transport information systems.
