This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The sustainable development of the public transport system in Cluj Napoca Municipality was realised through:
- to modernize 87 public transport stations within the municipality and bringing them to international standards (in terms of technical and operational parameters) in order to bring more comfort and safety to its passengers; creating an appealing design for the stations and equipping them with benches, garbage bins and a display panel.
- ensuring lighting system in 35 of the upgraded stations in order to provide a safe and efficient transport.
- Mounting display panels that provide information on the estimated time of arrival of the public transport in the station (74 panels).
- Increasing the comfort of passengers by implementing hourly tariffs and the possibility of using travel titles on any means of public transport and for a certain period of time, regardless of the route travelled.
- Installing an automatic, non-stop, system for issuance of travel tickets; The placement of 61 automatic machines for the issue of non-stop travel passes in areas with an important passenger traffic; The placement of 136 validators in the stations and 327 validators in the means of public transport.
The means of public transport are equipped with dual validators that interact with contactless cards of passengers and paper tickets as well as with board computers that remember the type of ticket purchased and function as a buffer for validators.

Potential for learning or transfer
The project is a good practice for the upgrade of public transport by introducing the electronic ticketing system and creating public transport stations equipped with electronic display boards, which has led to an increase in the quality of public service, having a positive impact on the quality of life for the residents of Cluj Napoca and its metropolitan area.
The project can be a good practice model for other cities / regions, in terms of increasing the mobility of the inhabitants, based on the introduction of modern taxation and tariff integration systems.
