Common questions about Trains in Russia

What Trains routes are there in Russia?

We sell 20896 Trains routes in Russia, serving 499 places, run by 38 operators. Every one of those routes has an operator that actually serves it, so the count is the network we can sell rather than every pair of places on a map.

How much do Trains tickets in Russia cost?

The cheapest Trains fare in Russia is €11.88 for one passenger, across the 20,896 routes we sell there. The median route runs 357 km in a straight line, which is the distance that fare should be read against before comparing it to anywhere else.

Can I travel out of Russia by Trains?

2044 of the Trains routes we sell touching Russia cross a border and 18852 stay inside it, reaching 6 other countries including Belarus, Kazakhstan, Lithuania. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.

Which operators run Trains services in Russia?

38 operators run Trains services on routes we sell in Russia: АО "сзппк", АО «АК «Железные дороги Якутии», АО «Алтай-Пригород», АО «бппк», АО «ввппк». Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalog, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.

What is the longest Trains route in Russia?

The longest Trains route we sell touching Russia runs from Kazan to Saint Petersburg, 1,199 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 357 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
