Fares & Tickets
Good to know
The passenger must always have a ticket - even when exiting the train. The stations have barriers, so you can not leave without a ticket - you will have to buy a special penalty pass.
But there is also a small bonus - the entrance to the toilets at the stations (often paid) upon presentation of the ticket is free.
Cost of travel
The fare depends on the distance traveled. You can calculate the cost here
Note! The fare in express trains called Lastochka (in English - Swallow) and also in comfortable trains is higher than in ordinary commuter trains. Tickets purchased at the fare for ordinary trains, including round-trip tickets are not valid in express/comfortable trains.
Study the schedule before buying tickets. Express and comfortable trains are marked with an asterisk ★ or letter K.
In this case, we recommend buying one-way tickets only or round-trip tickets right away at the rate of express/comfort trains - they are valid everywhere and not much more expensive.
How to buy a ticket
Note! You can buy a ticket at self-service terminals. Machines have an English-speaking interface. To buy tickets for ordinary commuter trains - click the blue tab 'Suburban trains", to buy a ticket for comfortable and express train (Lastochka) - click green tab 'Comfortable trains'.
If you have any difficulties - contact the special assistants or the cashier. Just say the name of the destination, type of train or depart time, the number and type (one way / round trip) of tickets.
How to say it in Russian? See below!
By cash
You can always buy a ticket for cash at cashbox, self-service ticket machines or on board. Note! When purchasing a ticket on board, an additional fee may be charged.
By credit card
It is possible to pay with cards Visa, MasterCard and some others (see payments in Russia) - both at ticket offices and at self-service ticket machines. Payment by cards on board local trains is also possible. However, for the operation of a mobile payment terminal, a stable GSM connection is necessary, which is not always available on the road. Therefore, just in case (as always in Russia), put some cash in your pocket.
By smartphone and other gadgets
If you have a device synchronized with your Visa or MasterCard, you can pay for travel on suburban train in the same way as for holders of 'plastic'
By long-term travelcard
Note! The PODOROZHNIK card is valid in commuter trains only upon the addition of a special electronic ticket at the ticket offices or self-service terminals at stations only
To purchase e-tickets by PODOROZHNIK card at any train stations, you first need to activate your travel card at the ticket offices at the main railway stations of St. Petersburg - Moskovskiy vokzal, Vitebskiy vokzal, Baltiyskiy vokzal, Finlyandskiy vokzal.
Travelling with children
Сhildren under the age of 7 (regardless of citizenship) always travel free when accompanied by a adult passenger with a ticket. You must have a document to prove the child's age. Children under the age of 7 are not allowed to travel unaccompanied.
Note! If you travel on a suburban train with children under 7 years old - you must get a free ticket at the ticket office at the station or on board the train. Discounts for children over seven years are valid only for Russian citizens, all the others must buy a ticket for the full cost.
Discounts for students, teens and seniors
Discounts for children over seven years, students and seniors are valid only for Russian citizens, all the others must buy a ticket for the full cost.
Penalties

If you don't pay the penalty fare, you can be arrested by the police
How to say it in Russian?
