Good News for Tokat Residents: First Public Transport Ride on Weekdays Free with TROY Card in June

Turkey's domestic payment system TROY has launched a major campaign for public transport users in Tokat. Organized by the Interbank Card Center (BKM), the campaign is valid in five provinces including Tokat, Kayseri, Nevşehir, Niğde, and Sivas. Under the campaign, holders of TROY-branded cards will not pay for their first urban journey on weekdays throughout June. This initiative aims to reduce transportation costs for citizens and promote the use of the domestic payment system.

The campaign started on June 1, 2026 at 00:01 and will continue until June 30, 2026 at 23:59. It is valid on all public transport lines in Tokat city center, districts, and towns. Tokat residents can benefit from this advantage using TROY-branded contactless credit cards, debit cards, prepaid cards, or TROY-integrated mobile payment (NFC) methods. The campaign offers a budget-friendly opportunity, especially for regular public transport users.

The campaign has several important conditions. First, it applies only to urban lines with a single fare of 75 TL or less; lines with fares above 75 TL are excluded. Second, free transportation is valid only on weekdays and not on public holidays. Additionally, each TROY-branded card can benefit from the campaign only once per weekday during the campaign period. These limitations ensure the campaign is fair and sustainable.

No additional application or registration is required to benefit from the campaign. Even if the fare is displayed on the validator screen, the amount will be automatically reset and not charged to the card. This allows users to directly enjoy the advantage without any extra steps. The system will automatically check the campaign conditions when a contactless payment is made and reset the fare if applicable.

Conducted simultaneously in Tokat, Kayseri, Nevşehir, Niğde, and Sivas, this campaign will significantly contribute to the transportation budget of Tokat residents throughout June. It is also seen as an important step in promoting and increasing the use of the domestic payment system TROY. The campaign aims to provide both economic and technological benefits to citizens.
