If you do not like bouncing on dusty roads in a bus, and the thought of flying in an airplane at an altitude of ten thousand miles makes you panic-stricken, traveling by train is the best option for you. Moreover, statistics claim that trains are the safest form of transport. All that remains is to buy a Russian Railways ticket and pack your bags.
Instructions
Step 1
Register on the Russian Railways website. Tickets can only be purchased for registered users. In the upper right corner, click on the "Register" button. A registration page will open in front of you. Come up with a username and password. The password must contain only Latin letters and numbers. Be sure to write down this information. You can use them for all subsequent purchases of a Russian Railways ticket online. Next, enter your full name, date of birth and gender in the appropriate boxes.
Step 2
Return to the main page of the Russian Railways website. In the upper left corner there is a window "Schedule, availability, purchase of tickets". Enter the city of departure in the "From" window and the place of arrival in the "Where" window. In the lower window, select the date you want to hit the road. Click on the "Find" button.
Step 3
In the window that opens, select the type of carriage in which you want to travel. Uncheck unnecessary places and leave a tick on the car you need. If there are several train options listed below, look at the departure date, price and travel time. Choose one that works best for you and mark it on the circle on the right. Then click on the "Continue" button.
Step 4
Select in the new window the carriage number, class of service and seat, lower or upper. Click on the circle opposite the selected seat in the carriage, and then on the "Continue" button.
Step 5
Read carefully all the details of the ticket before buying it. After making sure that you have chosen the correct date, train number, seat and price, click on the "Buy" button.
Step 6
Contact the Russian Railways ticket office if you do not like using the Internet to buy tickets. An employee of the Russian Railways company will help you choose a train ticket for the required date and at the best price. Russian Railways ticket offices are located in any city with more than 100 thousand inhabitants.
