As of December 1, the return of train tickets will be subject to a fee: Russian Railways will introduce a fee of up to 10% of the cost. As of December 1, the rules for returning tickets for long-distance trains in Russia will change. Instead of the regular 3.7 rubles, passengers will have to pay a percentage of the ticket price - the amount of the fee will depend on how far in advance the refund will be given. If the ticket is returned 45 days or more before departure, 1% of the cost will be deducted, 30-44 days - 3%, 10-29 days - 5%. And if there are nine days or less left before the trip, the commission will be 10%. Russian Railways expects the new rules to reduce mass turn-backs before take-off and free up seats for other passengers. According to the company, more than 25 million tickets were returned in 2025 - about 23% of the total traffic. Do you think this is a fair measure? Ostashko!
