Currently, citizens can buy a train ticket via the Internet on the Russian Railways website. This significantly saves time, freeing you from the need to personally visit the station and wait for your turn at the ticket office.
Instructions
Step 1
Go to the Russian Railways website via the Internet to buy a train ticket for the desired direction (you will find the link below). On the left side of the page, you will see a ticket search tab. Enter the points of departure and destination of the train. Please note that when entering data, you will be prompted to select not only the city, but also a specific station. Specify the date you need and click "Find".
Step 2
Wait for the next page to load, where you will see a list of flights corresponding to the selected parameters, and the cost of tickets. Here you can also indicate a more accurate departure time, as well as the type of passenger seat and carefully study the route in order to sort the most convenient and suitable flights. Check the box of the selected option and click "Buy ticket".
Step 3
Before buying a train ticket on the Russian Railways website, carefully read the diagram of the wagons of the selected train and the list of available seats, as well as their cost. Pay attention to the ER icon next to the train and carriage names. Its presence means that before boarding, you must independently print the purchased ticket from the "My Orders" section on paper or save it electronically on your mobile device. In the absence of the icon, the passenger must contact the ticket office of the station with the order number and receive a special form of travel document or print out the ticket at the station terminal.
Step 4
Only registered users can buy a train ticket via the Internet on the Russian Railways website, so on the next page you will be offered to go through the registration procedure and receive a login and password. After logging into the site, you will find yourself on the ticket payment page, which can be performed in various ways, for example, through electronic payment systems or a bank card. As a result, the screen will display the order number or the e-ticket itself for printing, which depends on the conditions specified above.
Step 5
There are special conditions and rules for purchasing tickets on the Russian Railways website. You need to familiarize yourself with them before you start choosing a flight by clicking on the link "Rules for buying electronic tickets" on the left. It describes in detail which citizens are allowed to accept the offer, how you can get or exchange a ticket, as well as other important aspects of using this resource.
