Tickets, Payment and booking
Payment for trips with NR is possible by one of 3 ways, There is the traditional cash and card transactions, but also the ЕПКrypta card or other e-card from an Astyrail partner.
The ЕПКrypta card is a pre-loaded card that is topped up by cash, credit/debit card at stations or by telephone using a credit or debit card. ЕПКrypta cards allow you to touch-in and touch out on local trips, as well as buying tickets for long distance trips with a 10% discount over regular cash or card purchased tickets for journeys on NR transportation trains, which unlike some travel cards, they can be used at ANY time, peak time or off peak, day or night week day or weekends, and are also valid on international journeys. ЕПКrypta cards can also be used to book advanced travel tickets on line, when upon arriving at the station to commence your journey, just place your ЕПКrypta card on the reader at the auto-vend machine and your ticket is printed off. Being part of Astyrail, ЕПКrypta cards and their equivilents from other Astyrail carriers are valid across the Astyrail network, this allows users of other Astyrail equivilent cards to purchase tickets with their Astyrail e-cards, and NR passengers to use their ЕПКrypta cards when purchasing tickets on other Astyrail carriers, whether being in the Nikolia or not.
Top up a ЕПКrypta card by 100 НКД or more in one sitting, or travel using a ЕПКrypta card 60 times in one month with a minimum journey length of 100km your card can earn you NR points, these NR points can be used to get a free travel return ticket on an off-peak or weekend travel, 1,000 points for a one way, 2,000 points for a return journey.

Where to use ЕПКrypta card.
With the Nikolia having a unified urban transit system, ЕПКrypta cards and their Astyrail sister cards such as the VIPER VIPER card , can be used on all suburban public transport systems such as the Belgrade Tram system, Tzarsburg subway system, or the bus networks that serve the cities of the Nikolia. as well as on NR train services. This means that when you arrive at the end point of your journey with us, and need to get to your final destination by bus or metro/subway, your ЕПКrypta card or Astyrail syster card can be used for those journeys too, so even if you have not got any Nikolian Dinars to buy a ticket, you can still get around.
