In 2019, fares for travel using the Troika card in public transport increased slightly in value. On this moment There are the following tariffs that can be recorded on a single travel card - the Troika transport card:

• Wallet;
• Single;
• 90 minutes.

What opportunities does each tariff offer, which one is the most profitable and cheapest for traveling around Moscow?

Tariff "Wallet"

It cannot be called a full-fledged tariff, the name speaks for itself - you just need to put money on the card and pay for trips according to the tariff:

From January 2, 2019, the cost of one trip increased from 36 to 38 rubles. And the 90-minute tariff on Troika now costs 59 rubles instead of 56.

Tariff "Single"

The "" tariff plan assumes that you know how many trips per month you can spend. You can choose for 1, 2 and 60 trips, or choose daily pricing.

The cost depends on the number of trips - the more there are, the cheaper the cost of one; in the table of tariffs with a limit, the reduction in cost is clearly displayed in the third column.

With travel limit

Trips	Cost, rub.	Cost of 1 trip RUB.
1	55	55
2	110	55
20	-	-
40	-	-
60	1900	31.67

From this tariff line, the most favorable tariff is for 60 trips.

Unlimited daily tariff plan

For those whose work is directly related to public transport, for example couriers, it will be beneficial to sign up for an unlimited pass for a month or more on Troika. You can put it on once - for a year and forget it, but the cost is not small.

Tariff “TAT” – Trolleybus, bus, tram

“ ” – a tariff suitable for those who do not use the metro, but get to their place of work only by ground transport. There is no point in taking United if you go down the metro 2-4 times a month. The “Bus, trolleybus, tram” tariff is offered in only three options:

• one trip purchased from the driver is 45 rubles, and one trip on Troika is 38 rubles.
• unlimited travel on land transport for 30 days – 1140 rubles.

The TAT tariff for 60 trips lost its relevance and was withdrawn from circulation on January 2, 2019.

Tariff "90 minutes"

The "" tariff is not limited to one trip; you can record 1, 2 or 60 trips of 90 minutes each on the Troika card. At the same time, it is impossible to combine this tariff with the Unified and TAT, you will have to choose.

In the hour and a half given to you for 59 rubles, you can go to the metro and MCC once and change ground public transport an unlimited number of times.

You can go from the metro to the MCC at this fare, no additional amount will be charged, but there should not be a bus, tram or trolleybus between the metro and the MCC.

On average, 90 minutes is enough to get from one point of the city (from home) to another (to work) by public transport.

How much does a Troika card cost in 2019?

The cost of the Troika card has not changed, it is 50 rubles deposits, which are returned if the correct card is returned to the metro ticket office. Few people use this opportunity - the money is small, and there is no need to return it, it is convenient and practical.

Where can I buy a Troika card?

You can get a Troika at almost any metro station by making a deposit of 50 rubles. By depositing money into your electronic account, you activate the card and can start using it.

Have you already chosen a favorable tariff?

YesNo

During the period of study at a secondary vocational or higher educational institution, students always feel the need for money. If you manage to work somewhere, it’s only a few hours a week, and in order not to be distracted from your studies, it’s better to forget about work altogether. So that young people can focus on mastering a profession, travel tickets are issued that allow them to save at least on using public transport services. If you issue a travel pass for a student, you can travel on one or several types of transport at once without restrictions on preferential terms. Considering how often students have to move around the city, this represents a significant cost savings.

What is a student travel card?

Full-time students of primary, secondary vocational and higher educational institutions can obtain a travel ticket. Specialists, bachelors and masters, but not graduate students, are eligible to receive a travel pass. The specific list of beneficiaries depends on the decision of local authorities.

A travel ticket for students is a document, thanks to which you can use the services of buses, trolleybuses, trams, trains and metro (and in Sevastopol, for example, boats) at a discount.

The issuance of travel cards and financing of part of the cost of travel is carried out by the authorities of the region, who negotiate with carriers, enter into an agreement with them and transmit information about the possibility of issuing a travel card to universities and colleges. The administration of educational institutions informs students that it is possible to purchase travel documents.

To find out about the possibility of purchasing a travel card and its cost, the student should contact the student union and the dean’s office of the university.

Previously, travel tickets were issued in the form of cardboard cards, on which the surnames and initials of students, as well as the name of the educational institution, were written. The card was shown to the conductor along with the student ID. Nowadays, most cities already have electronic single travel tickets, but to use them you need to use transport with built-in validators.

Such cards are personalized so that someone else cannot use them. They have a microprocessor that allows you to read information about the travel card itself and the transport wallet account.

Using a pass on public transport is beneficial. It is enough to deposit a certain amount into your account once a month (if the ticket is electronic) or buy a card, and you can travel without restrictions until the time of the next payment. Sometimes purchasing a pass provides for separate payment for surface and underground transport in cities where the metro operates. Considering that a student needs to move between libraries, university buildings and to the dormitory, a travel card makes life much easier. How to use your student travel card

Since the provision of travel tickets is not profitable for carriers, they regularly receive information about students who received a diploma or were expelled from the university - their card is immediately blocked and they will have to pay full price travel

How can I get a travel pass for a student?

There are 2 options for how to issue a travel card for a student - through the student union of the educational institution or independently. In both cases, you will have to prepare a small set of documents, including:

• a photocopy of the passport recipient of the travel card;
• photocopy of student ID;
• one photo measuring 30x40 mm;
• certificate of registration at the place of permanent residence.

The travel card will not be issued immediately - it is prepared for each student separately, the information is entered on electronic media. First, the information about the ticket recipient will be checked for accuracy. Waiting times vary in different regions. In the capital you will have to wait up to 1 month, in Novgorod the travel pass will be issued in 2 weeks.

Where can you apply for a student travel pass yourself?

The easiest way to obtain a travel ticket is to contact the student trade union organization, which will act as an intermediary between the student and the carrier providing the travel card. Then you won’t have to go to special points for filling out documents - after finishing classes you can stop by the trade union, hand over the papers, write an application and wait for the card to be produced. However, if we're talking about about electronic travel cards (smart cards), you cannot do without a personal visit to the issuing point (you must have a passport and student card with you).

If for some reason you don’t want to contact a trade union organization, you can go to the ticket office with your documents. Sometimes transport cards are issued at the metro ticket office. The best way find out where to go - ask about the addresses of the points in the dean's office or by phone - from the transport company.

Common mistakes

Error: A student who has been expelled from the university is trying to use his student travel card.

With the formation of new Moscow, the topic of transport tickets became very confusing. If previously everyone simply bought a ticket for a certain number of trips, now there are countless types of transport tickets.

You need to start understanding the topic of travel tickets in Moscow from transport zones - in New Moscow there are now two of them. Plus, a zone appeared at the intersection of these two zones.

These two zones can be clearly seen on the map.

Depends on the zone:

• Cost of public transport in Moscow.
• Type of transport ticket that can be used.

With its division into zones, the Moscow transport system has become somewhat similar to the Barcelona transport system.

Metro pass for 60 trips cost 2017

According to our statistics, the most popular travel card in Moscow is for 60 trips. It can be used both on the metro and on public transport. For people who use only the metro on weekdays, such a ticket will last for 1.5 months. Your vacation will not be spent on your vacation, as you are given 90 days to use it up. You can read more about the “Unified” travel card for 60 trips below.

Metro pass

So, we have decided on the transport zone. Now let's look at which passes include travel on the metro.

Pass for bus, trolleybus, tram

Travel cards for ground transport also differ by transport zones.

Let's look at the types of travel tickets in Moscow, their tariffs and what they look like.

“Single” travel ticket

One of the most popular types of memorable red color.

In 2015, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Moscow metro, a limited number of holiday passes were issued. And since March 2016, they began selling “United” travel cards for 1-2 trips dedicated to the 200th metro station - Salaryevo.

With this pass you can travel on the metro, trolleybus, tram, bus, monorail and light metro.

The “One” action applies to both zone A and zone B. The ticket also applies to the transition zone.

Below is a table with tariffs within the “Single”, indicating the price.

From January 1, 2017, the cost of Moscow public transport increased by 12% . This is twice as much as last year.

Number of trips	Cost, rub.	Use within
1	55	5 days

40	1440	90 days
60	1700	90 days
1 day	210
3 days	400	Start using no later than 10 days from the date of sale
7 days	800	Start using no later than 10 days from the date of sale

The cost of passes for 1, 3, 7 days and 30, 90 and 365 days remains the same as last year.

Ground Transport Pass (TAT)

From the name it is clear that it will operate exclusively on ground public transport in Moscow, that is, on buses, trams and trolleybuses.

If you don't use the metro at all in everyday life, why pay for it.

This is what he looks like.

Please note that the TAT transport ticket is valid only in zone A. It can also be used to travel within the city of Zelenograd.

Let's look at the table with prices for the TAT travel card. Since 2017, TAT passes for 1, 2, 5, 11, 20, 40 trips and 90, 365 days have been removed. There are only two options left for monthly passes.

This type of transport ticket is suitable for those passengers who can make their way by metro and ground transport in 1.5 hours. The tariff assumes that within 90 minutes you will make 1 trip by metro, and then an unlimited number of transfers on buses, trolleybuses, and trams.

The 90 minute pass looks like this.

Time in traffic jams is still taken into account, so you need to be careful and activate a new ticket after 90 minutes if you missed the deadline.

The 90-minute travel ticket is valid only in Moscow and within the city of Zelenograd.

Prices are shown below.

"90 minute" travel tickets for 5, 11, 20 and 40 trips are no longer available for sale.

Card “Bus” emerald color

You can see what it looks like in the picture below:

This ticket is suitable for travel in zone B. This ticket is not valid in zone A and Zelenograd.

Since the new year, ticket options for 2, 5, 11, 20 and 40 trips and 90, 356 days are not available to passengers. The prices are as follows:

• A ticket for one trip costs 55 rubles.
• An unlimited ticket for a calendar month costs 1,800 rubles.

Moscow monthly pass

There are several options when you buy trips “in bulk” for the whole month at once:

Where to buy a travel pass in Moscow

All passes are sold at the ticket office at the entrance to any metro station. There, specialists will answer any question and help you choose the right transport ticket.

From the article you learned about what transport zones New Moscow is divided into and what travel cards you can use to save as much as possible. At first glance, the seemingly confusing Moscow transport ticket system turns out to be very easy to use in practice.

Students in general educational institutions- a special category of citizens. The state is trying to support children and their parents with special measures to make education accessible. One of these measures is the issuance of travel cards for schoolchildren.

Many people have to travel to school by public transport: a suitable educational institution is often located in a distant area. Often with transfers. Travel costs are reduced family budget, already suffering from purchases of textbooks, school uniforms and office supplies.

The Ministry of Education and regional authorities, collaborating with carriers, organize the issuance of travel cards so that parents can save on their child’s travel to school, section and back home. With regular use of the benefit, a decent amount remains in the family budget.

What is a school travel card

Travel tickets are documents that give their holder the right to pay for travel on public transport at a discount or ride for free. They are also available to all schoolchildren. Benefits do not apply to trips with private carriers (for example, minibuses).

The sale and issue of travel cards for schoolchildren is regulated by regional legislation. Therefore, in different regions, the conditions for receipt and use, cost, amount of travel discounts and other nuances may differ greatly from each other.

Tip: You can find out the latest and most relevant information about the benefits in the region from the school administration. The secretary will tell you what the child is entitled to and how to get it. Two more options - contact hotline Ministry of Education or the city's public transport organization.

Travel cards can be divided into 2 types:

1. Granting the right to discounted travel on several types of public transport. This is useful when the child travels a lot around the city with transfers.
2. Giving the right to travel with a discount on 1 type of public transport. Bus companies, tram depots or the metro issue their travel cards.

When choosing a school pass, you need to analyze how many types of transport and how often your child uses. Sometimes it makes no sense to buy a general pass if a student travels only by metro and travels by bus a couple of times a month.

How does the pass work?

Travel cards also differ from a financial point of view:

1. Free, intended for schoolchildren who belong to “special categories of citizens”. For example, these are orphans: they travel on public transport for free because they are fully supported by the state.
2. Electronic cards, which are usually issued free of charge. You need to replenish them yourself so that there is enough money in your account to pay. The only drawback of electronic travel cards is that city transport must be equipped with modern validators that can read card data. Large cities can boast of such innovations.
3. Standard travel card for a month with discounted travel. It is gradually being phased out and is being replaced by an electronic version.

Any type of travel pass for schoolchildren is valid only during the school year. Its framework is established by the legislation of the region. Typically, the grace period for school students lasts from September 1 to June 15.

The issued electronic cards are personalized. Passing them on to friends or using someone else’s will not work. A photograph of the child is placed on the discounted travel pass or accompanying document to prevent fraud.

Examples of travel cards in the regions

Although regional rules for obtaining and using school passes vary, they have many similarities:

1. “Student Social Card” (Moscow) – multifunctional a plastic card, which appeared in 2014. In addition to discounted travel, you need it to make an appointment with a doctor, pay for meals in the canteen and make purchases. All schoolchildren studying in institutions in Moscow can receive it. Place of residence does not matter. Parents put money on the card, which the child uses to pay for the trip. Travel by metro for 1 month costs 380 rubles, and by land transport – 250 rubles.
2. "Ivolga" (Tver). Electronic card with 3 tariffs: “Unified” – 580 rubles; for 2 types of transport – 475 rubles; for 1 type of transport – 285 rubles. Prices for 1 month.
3. C “Student transport card” ( Nizhny Novgorod) you can travel for free on buses, trams, trolleybuses and the metro for 920 rubles per month. Choosing one of these types of transport will cost 500 rubles.
4. The cost of reduced travel on a single student travel card in St. Petersburg is 515 rubles.

In all major cities of Russia, travel cards have been introduced that are valid for several types of transport, so that it is more convenient for schoolchildren to move around the city and save money.

How to get a school pass

Travel tickets are sold at special points or ticket offices. Before this you need to take care of collecting necessary documents. Their list by region may vary greatly.

But everywhere you need a certificate from your place of study, drawn up in a generally accepted format. It is obtained from the school secretariat. The certificate requires:

• Full name of the student;
• legal address of the educational institution;
• bank details of the establishment;
• signatures of the school director;
• official seal.

If the document does not meet these requirements, the place where the travel card is issued will be refused. You will have to go to the secretariat again and fill out a new certificate.

You may also need:

1. Photocopy of birth certificate or passport;
2. Compulsory medical insurance policy;
3. SNILS card;
4. Passport of one of the parents or guardians;
5. A photo of the child in printed or electronic version (depending on the method of printing the travel card) measuring 3x4 cm.
6. Sometimes you need a valid student ID with a photo and information from the school. It is usually required in small cities that do not have the technical capabilities to introduce electronic cards. Their residents use standard cards without a photograph, which indicate only the owner’s full name. A student ID card with photo is required for the child to verify their identity.

Not having a student ID is not a problem. It can be completed within a few days at the school office. You need to buy the ticket form in advance and take a student photo. At the office, they will paste the photo, put a signature and the official seal of the institution. The student's certificate is valid for 1 year and can then be renewed until graduation.

In some regions it is strictly stipulated that the presence of the student when submitting documents is mandatory. It will take 14–30 days to issue a travel pass, so it is recommended to purchase it on time.

How to use

A student with a travel card can use the types of transport covered by the document for free. For others, he will have to pay the full price of the ticket.

If the vehicle is equipped with a special device that reads electronic card data, then it is enough to attach it to the validator. In transport with the conductor, you need to show your travel card and, if asked, your student ID with a photo.

Tip: It is important not to miss the next payment time and put money on the card. Even if you miss just 1 day of payment for the next month, the child will not be able to go to school and will miss classes.

An electronic card issued for 1 year can be extended without re-issuing a new one. You need to get a certificate from the school that the child is continuing education, and come back to the travel card issuing point.

Of course, children are actively losing their travel cards. The electronic card is easy to restore. If a child reports a loss, you need to:

• call the customer service number of the company that issued the card and ask to block the loss;
• come to the point of issue and write an application;
• pay for the issue new card(usually 100 rubles);
• get a temporary pass;
• receive a new electronic card after some time.

Old information, balance and already paid services will be saved.

In addition to receiving a pass for city public transport, the child can enjoy benefits for the purchase of railway and air tickets. Schoolchildren also receive a discount on visiting museums, theaters and other cultural and educational institutions. To receive benefits, you must present a student ID or a certificate drawn up in accordance with all the rules.
