Moscow is not just the capital of Russia, but also a huge area in size. Muscovites and guests use transport daily to get from one place to another. The fare, unfortunately, is high for many passengers. But the management of urban public transport makes concessions to citizens and visitors to the people, giving the opportunity to save.
If you clearly plan your travel goals, their number and duration, you can save a lot of money. Below are the options for a single ticket for transport in Moscow.
Types of Travel
In the Moscow metro or at the Mosgortrans ticket offices you can buy a ticket for any number of trips. If you need to drive only once or twice, you will have to pay for 1-2 trips. That is, the price for one trip is 55 rubles. It’s better to buy a ticket for 40 trips 1.5 times cheaper. If you buy “One” with 60 trips, then the price for one will be about 28 rubles.
Travel tickets for 20, 40 and 60 trips are valid for three months. A single transport ticket in Moscow with 1 or 2 trips can be used only 5 days.
Where applicable "One" of all kinds
Having bought a ticket for the required number of trips, you can use it:
- In the underground;
- on a monorail;
- in the bus;
- in the tram;
- in a trolley bus.
It is not valid on the Moscow Central Ring and in minibuses.
Every day by metro and ground transport
Every day, many Muscovites have to go from the sleeping areas to the metro by bus, tram or trolleybus. If you imagine that every day a passenger spends money on four trips, and 20 working days, then it is recommended that he take “One” for 60 trips. Of course, they will not be enough for a whole month, but you can easily purchase a new one.
Therefore, in this case, it is recommended to buy a single ticket for transport in Moscow and use it for the entire period, but not more than 3 months. It is worth noting that precisely in the life of the card is a huge plus.
Irregular or spontaneous subway rides
As mentioned above, tickets for 20, 40 and 60 trips are valid for 90 days. Therefore, you can safely purchase 20 trips for those who at least 2-3 times a week use public transport or the metro. At 40, it is recommended to take passengers who use public transport no more than three to four times a week.
Thus, if everything is correctly calculated and predicted, you can not only save, but also not lose unused trips after three months.
Travel by land only
Passengers often have a question: if trips are made only by ground transport, is it possible to buy a separate ticket or will I have to take a single ticket regardless of the mode of transport? Moscow is a big city, there are a lot of people, it is difficult and unprofitable for a transport company to create highly targeted tariffs. That is why there is a "One", which is the fairest option.
Arrived in Moscow for two to three days
It happens that a man came to the capital for a few days. The next visit will take place in six months. But the plans at the moment to go around several points in different parts of the city. Of course, it is unprofitable to take a ticket for 20 trips if they cannot be completed. You can, of course, take 19, but the cost for one will be 55 rubles. What to do?
It is possible to purchase a single ticket for ground transportation in Moscow for 1, 3 or 7 days and for trips by metro. In this case, the tariffs are as follows (2017):
- 1 day - 210 rubles;
- 3 days - 400 rubles;
- 7 days - 800 rubles.
Of course, it is advantageous to take those who will move around Moscow, repeatedly using public transport. For example, you need to travel four times by metro, then by trolleybus and tram, then return home or to the hotel, again using the metro and tram. Total 9 or 10 trips. The tangible savings. It should be noted that such tickets do not have time limits.
You only need to drive today with transfers
There is a “90 minutes” tariff, which allows a passenger to travel by metro or monorail once, but by bus, trolleybus or tram - as many as you like. But from the beginning of the first pass, you need to detect time in order to find out how profitable it is to make trips.
Let's say you need to drive from the Novye Cheryomushki station to Belyaevo. On average, you can spend 10 minutes. Then in Belyaevo you need to catch a bus and drive 4 stops in 20 minutes. Further, the passenger is at the meeting point for some time. Then it returns back the same way to the metro. He manages to visit another place in 40 minutes, then goes to the station, using another route of the bus or trolleybus running from the Belyaevo metro station. For example, 5-10 minutes remain before the ticket expires. A man manages to make the last trip before leaving Moscow by train. Thus, a single ticket for transport in Moscow “90 minutes” will be profitable.
Alternative to the One - Three
There is another type of a single ticket for transport in Moscow - this is the Troika card, which can be replenished for any amount up to 3000 rubles. But the number of trips is not limited.
Every passenger always has a choice. The main thing is to correctly calculate how many times you have to use public transport.
