CentroCard general terms and conditions

GENERAL TERMS OF USE OF CENTROCARD

CentroCard is a card purchased before the trip at one of Centrotrans's points of sale for the issuance, sale, and top up of all types of cards. A passenger who does not have a ticket must enter the front door, prepare the exact amount and buy a ticket from the driver. All tickets in the system, except paper tickets purchased from the driver, must be scanned when entering the bus on validators located in the door zone. The passenger is obligated to present the card to the controller or other authorized person during the control. Controllers operate on all lines of public line transport in the territory of the Sarajevo Canton.

In accordance with the Law on Road Transport of FBiH published in the Official Gazette of FBiH 28/06 "A passenger who is transported without a valid transport ticket shall be charged on the spot with a fine of BAM 50.00 (Article 29, paragraph 1 of this Law) as well as a passenger who is transported without the card referred to in Article 37, paragraph 3 of this Law; any misuse of an electronic card is punishable! Report the loss or damage to the card by e-mail: [email protected] or by phone at +387 61 728 603.

CentroCard issues three types of transport cards:

1. personalized 

2. non-personalized 

3. single ride tickets (purchased from the driver).

 

NON-PERSONALIZED CARDS

The non-personalized/reloadable CentroCard electronic card enables an unlimited number of trips on all lines of daily traffic from 06 to 24 hours on selected lines as long as there is money / credit on it so that the ticket price can be charged, and every validation of this card on the validator on the bus will grant the passenger a 5% discount on all city lines. 

A non-personalized smart card can be used by one or several users.

·      This type of card represents an electronic wallet for transportation in public transport. It's bought at the kiosk. It can be reloadable an unlimited number of times. 

·      When entering the vehicle, the user scans a card, which reduces the amount of credit in the value of the ticket for the selected zone/route or multiple zones/routes.

·      One card can be used for two or more passengers, but you are required to emphasize this to the driver when validating the card. We recommend that a long-distance passenger keeps the card during the trip.

·        In the event that the electronic billing system is not in operation for justified reasons, the passenger is required to purchase the ticket with the driver.
