Street vending ticket machines

The vending machines were purchased within the framework of the European grant funded project "Modernisation of public transport in the Municipality of Sibiu". They replaced the old street vending machines which were taken out of service as of 1 March 2023.

As such, a total of 24 new street vending ticket machines has been placed in 12 stations to support passengers and offer them greater flexibility in purchasing tickets.
