Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandic and ZET director Ivan Tolic said Zagreb was the second European city, after Helsinki, to have introduced such a service.
Public transportation fares can be purchased by using the m-Prijevoz service. Owners of mobile phones using the services of VIPnet, T-Mobile or TELE2 operators can buy a ticket by sending an SMS message to the number 8585. In two minutes, they will receive a message confirming payment.
The m-Prijevoz service also includes a message about the expiry of the fare, which is sent ten minutes before expiry.
If requested to show the fare, the user shows the SMS message confirming payment of the fare.
