What interesting information I have found for myself! I was very surprised by the fact that the Russian Railways has free services, which we do not know at all about, and no one is in a hurry to tell us about them. It’s somehow unpleasant that you are not just lying, but silent. But I will open all the cards for you.
Given today's train ticket prices, I am sure that everyone should be aware of what is included in the ticket price in addition to travel. Maybe I won't open America to you, of course, but I hope you will find something useful for yourself!
So, you bought a ticket, what else are you entitled to?
A train ticket is a document that confirms payment for the main service of Russian Railways - the delivery of you and your baggage from one point to another. Additionally, your life and health are insured for the entire duration of your trip. Do not forget that children under 5 years old have the right to travel with you for free if you do not purchase a seat for them, as well as your luggage weighing up to 50 kg and up to 180 cm long.
You are obliged to provide you free of charge: soap and toilet paper in the toilet, first aid kit, needle and thread, scissors, boiling water, glasses and spoons, board games (!!!). And the conductor must regularly carry out wet cleaning and monitor the correct and comfortable air temperature in the car!
Here's what else you are eligible for FREE
Leave early
If, for example, you bought a ticket on the 10th, and you find out that a seat on the train of the same route number to 8, then you can, without any questions, exchange your ticket for a more comfortable one for you time. Nobody will charge you any additional fee!
Change your ticket in case of delay
Anything happens in life. So, if you suddenly missed your train, you have the right to exchange your ticket within 24 hours for a later time!
Personal data breaches
We are all human, we are all wrong. If, when buying a ticket, the cashier messed up a little and did not write your name quite correctly, you will still be taken where you and the hotels are. Important! A mistake is allowed in words by one letter, in numbers as well by one digit.
Luggage space reservation
You can pre-book a whole space for your luggage, for example, you have the top shelf, for the bottom luggage.
Carry a guide dog
Yes, the passenger of the train will not have to pay for the guide dog. Just keep in mind that the dog must be muzzled, collared and with its own passport.
Small animals as carry-on
Kittens, fish, mice, hamsters and other small entities can travel with you in the same carriage for free. It is important that the animals are in special cages, and not wander wherever they please.
Get off in the middle without canceling the ticket
You can, in the middle of your trip, pick up, stop, and get off. Next, you need to contact the ticket office of the station to roll over your ticket. Payment in this case will be charged only for a reserved seat.
Free toilet at the train station
Not everyone has pleasant memories of the toilets near the station - there is unsanitary conditions. The toilets in the stations themselves are much more bearable, but there is usually a lady at the entrance who wants to take money from you for peeing and hand you a piece of toilette. So, instead of money, show your aunt your ticket, and go to relieve yourself for free!
Take a train without a ticket
So, if you forgot your ticket at home, and the dispatch is about to happen, do not rush to run anywhere. Tell the conductor that there is no ticket on hand, you are escorted to a special staff carriage, a ticket is issued there, and that's it, you can stomp on the seat you bought earlier.
