Railway tickets printed on the electronic terminal are three slip coupons fastened together. The first coupon is kept by the cashier, the second when boarding the train is taken by the conductor, and the third is left to the passenger. In order to avoid mistakes when processing this travel document, you need to know how the information it contains is decoded.
Instructions
Step 1
Notice the first line from the top, just below the head of the document. It is easiest to decipher it, since the designations in the table refer specifically to it. Three numbers and the first letter represent the train number, the second letter represents the railway line. Next, the date (day and month) and the time of departure of the train from the boarding station are prescribed. After the departure time there is the number and type of the carriage, the price of the ticket and reserved seat in the currency of the state where the ticket was issued. Following is the number of people entitled to travel on this ticket and the type of ticket.
Step 2
Look at the second line: if the train travels through the territory of Russia or the destination station is the territory of another state, the names of the departure and destination stations, abbreviated to 12 characters, will be indicated here in Russian. The station names are followed by their seven-digit codes. If the train is branded, "Firms" will be indicated on the same line, and the luxury trains will be marked with the word "Express". Check the seat numbers, which are indicated in the third line. If the ticket is issued from an intermediate station, the line will say “The places are indicated by the conductor”. Next, you will see the protective symbol SZD and the abbreviated name of the road to which your carriage belongs.
Step 3
Check for a three-character security code on the fourth line. It is applied to identify forged documents. It is preceded by 2 letters and 6 numbers indicating the series and number of the ticket form. The letter and number below denote the code and serial number of the document upon sale. The next seven digits are the sales request number. After them, you can see the date and time when the ticket was issued. Next, the codes of the sales centers that issued the ticket and issued seats, the number of the sales point and the ticket office are printed. An "H" after the "/" sign indicates that the fare was calculated in national currency.
Step 4
Compare your passport details with the numbers on the fifth line of your ticket. After the designation of the type of document, its series and number follow. After the "/" sign, the passenger's surname is displayed, and the "=" sign is followed by his initials.
Step 5
The sixth line indicates the total cost of the ticket and the currency in which it is calculated. If a ticket is issued in another country, you will see a breakdown of the cost, which consists of the ticket price and reserved seat ("TAP" - tariff cost), the amount of commission and insurance fee ("KSB" and "STRSB") and the cost of services ("USL") … If you will be traveling in a carriage with additional services, check for the presence of the “U” symbol. After it, the number of food sets that must be provided to you should be reflected.
Step 6
Check the arrival time of the train at its destination by looking at the seventh line. It will not be indicated only if the departure of the train was made according to the old schedule, and the arrival according to the new one. If the train number has changed along the route, it will be indicated before the arrival time. The eighth line reflects the time of arrival of the passenger at the destination: Moscow or local.
