Resolution of March 4, 2025 No. 266

The cost of travel on long-distance trains for all children aged 10 to 18 will be half the cost of an adult ticket on the same route. The decree on this was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

According to the document, this rule will apply to compartment, reserved seat and general carriages of long-distance trains of all categories, with the exception of high-speed trains.

Until now, the procedure for providing benefits varied depending on the age of the children. In addition, benefits were only available to full-time students in comprehensive schools from September to May. In this case, children had to provide a certificate from the school each time. There were no such benefits for other students, including students in technical schools and colleges.

“Thanks to the decision taken, travel by rail will become more affordable for parents with children, and families will be able to travel around the country more often, which is especially important during summer vacations and holidays,” Mikhail Mishustin noted during Government meetings on March 6.
