Families with children will be able to travel in Russia at reduced rates. You can buy a ticket at a reduced price in compartment cars on long-distance trains of all categories. The implementation of such a program to support domestic tourism in 2021 will require more than 1.3 billion rubles.
Who can buy a discounted ticket?
Families with children under 18 can buy discounted tickets. When buying, passengers must present documents confirming the degree of kinship, the decree says..
What is the preferential tariff and how will it be calculated?
The reduced fare is the difference between the cost of a ticket on the selected route in a compartment and 50% of its cost in a reserved car. It will be calculated using a special formula:
T (l) = T (k) & mdash; (T(pl)/2),
where:
T (k) — & nbsp;fare for travel in a compartment car of a long-distance train on the date of ticket issuance;
T (pl) — & nbsp;fare for traveling in a reserved car of a long-distance train between the same departure and destination stations and the same train category
In which areas will the preferential tariffs apply, and in which ones will they not?
There are no restrictions on routes-you can buy a ticket in any direction. The program applies to both independent travel and organized tours.
Will they give a discount to passengers who are privileged?
No. Those who have privileges to travel on long-distance trains or have the right to free travel do not fall under the program of preferential fares.
