What does a student need to get a travel pass? Types of travel tickets

Parents know that free pass for children of a certain age guaranteed by the state.

However, there is often confusion about how to prove this to the controller. Some people consider the requirement to present documents to be unlawful. Others are confident that they can borrow free place for your young child. Other cases of distortion of the legislation in their favor by both parents and carriers have been noted.

Let's figure out what acts establish benefits for children on public transport. Who can use them in 2019?

Legislative framework

The basis for free travel for children is laid down in Article 786 Civil Code RF. Its paragraph 3 reads:

Clause 3, Article 786 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation:

"3. The passenger has the right, in the manner prescribed by the relevant transport charter or code: to transport children with him free of charge or on other preferential terms; carry free hand luggage within established standards; check in luggage for transportation for a fee according to the tariff.”

Subtleties of understanding legislation

The right not to pay is subject to restrictions and obligations of the parties.

Parents and accompanying persons should understand some nuances.

1. A seat will not be provided to a minor passenger who has not paid for the fare. This means that an adult must sit him on his lap.
2. One adult can accompany only one child. If two young passengers are traveling with their mother, then they need a separate seat. According to the rules, children are required to travel while sitting. This means you must purchase a ticket.
3. If the vehicle does not provide transportation for children without a separate seat, you will have to buy a ticket. An adult has the right to bring with him two children under twelve years of age. Each ticket will cost 50% of the full price.
4. The benefit is given to the child, not the mother. No matter who the child travels with, he does not pay for travel.

Children ride the metro without paying until they reach the age of seven. Accompaniment by an adult is required. Each person can carry only one minor passenger with them.

Control and responsibility

Disputes and grievances sometimes arise due to the conductor’s requirement to prove the child’s benefits.

1. Adults consider them unlawful, since “everyone knows about the benefit.” However, in in this case they are wrong. Art. 21 of the Transport Charter places the duty on the conductor to check the rights of beneficiaries. Therefore, he must ensure that the child is under seven years of age. This is confirmed by the date of birth on the certificate.
2. A number of questions affect the moment in normative legal acts regarding the age of travelers. Thus, the phrase “up to seven years” is perceived incorrectly by some. She literally limits the day of cancellation. free trips date of birth. As soon as a child turns seven, he is required to purchase a ticket.
3. The legislation says nothing about schoolchildren and preschoolers. After all, at six years old a child can attend any educational institution. The benefit is assigned to him based on the principle of age, not educational institution.

Accompanying persons are required to have the original document of the child with them. It should be presented upon the first request of the supervisory employee.

Water transport

By analogy, preferences also apply to sea (river) vessels. Children up to seven years of age travel within the Russian Federation without payment.

The condition is limited to the occupation of one seat with an accompanying adult. In addition, if there is more than one child, then they also need to purchase a ticket. The “one adult - one child” rule also works here.

On intercity transportation There are discounts for children under twelve years of age. Their travel will cost 50% of total cost. In this case, everyone will receive a separate seat. There is no need to take them on your lap.

Fringe benefits

Free travel around the city is reserved for some socially vulnerable categories of citizens. Their travel is paid for by the budget.

These include:

1. Orphans and children deprived of parental care.
2. Disabled children.
3. Pupils of large families.
4. Young people who have lost their breadwinner.

The first two categories apply to a specialized service to obtain status. They are given a document confirming their membership in a preferential category. They have the right not to pay for tickets on the subway, buses, and so on until they reach adulthood. If a young person studies full-time at a university, it is extended to twenty-three years.

The benefit is valid only if there is a document confirming the category.

Air travel without payment

Benefits for children whom parents take with them on a flight are significantly limited by age. So, only the youngest can travel without spending on a ticket. These are children under two years old. Those accompanying them are required to hold them in their arms without taking up additional space.

If there are two or more children per adult, then it is necessary to purchase a ticket for the seat. The baby must sit. The ticket price is reduced by half.

Discount flight tickets are available for young people under twelve years of age. The size is determined by the carrier.
