Benefits for schoolchildren on the train in. Discounts for large families on railway tickets: official and unofficial

Discounts for schoolchildren on railway tickets in 2019 are provided for by Russian legislation. They are necessary so that schoolchildren can study in schools that provide a stronger education, choosing to study in nearby cities.

Therefore, according to the law, during the academic year until June 15, schoolchildren over 10 years of age have the right to discounted rail travel. The cost of the discount on long-distance trains is 50% of the cost of an adult ticket.

This benefit ceases to apply annually in the summer after June 15 of each year. And it resumes on September 1st. This is due to the fact that many schoolchildren who have completed their studies can use a certificate from the school stating that they are students and receive preferential travel. Many parents also travel in the summer and are able to pay the full cost of tickets themselves.

Schoolchildren over 10 years of age can apply for discounts on tickets. To purchase such a discounted ticket, you must provide the following documents to the Russian Railways ticket office employee:

• a document from the school confirming that the child is studying in a certain class, with the date of issue and certificate number;
• document confirming the child’s identity (birth certificate or passport upon reaching 14 years of age);
• Pupils over 14 years of age must also provide the appropriate school record.

After presenting the required documents, the Russian Railways cashier must sell tickets at a discounted price. If the cashier doubts the authenticity of a certain document, he has the right to call the school and clarify information about the student and the authenticity of the documents presented.

Certificate from school

This type of document has the form established by law. It is filled out at the school where the student is studying.

Every school should have forms. The following items are required to be completed in this certificate:

1. Personal data of the child.
2. Legal full name of the school.
3. Her legal address.
4. School details.
5. Legal seal of the educational institution.
6. Signature of the director or his deputy.
7. Date of issue of the certificate.

If these points are missing from the document, the Russian Railways cashier has the right to refuse to provide the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets.

Benefits for trains

For schoolchildren, discounts are also provided in the amount of half the cost of trains. This discount is necessary for children who are forced to travel from the region every day to study in another city.

Many regions planned to abandon this measure of state support for school-age children. But in 2019, this measure was extended and is valid for this academic year.

Other benefits for schoolchildren

Children are the priority future of our country, so the state stimulates them with special support measures.

In addition to discounted travel on long-distance trains and commuter trains, schoolchildren can count on a significant discount on travel on public transport, as well as commuter buses and even airplanes. Many airlines offer discounts on domestic flights.

Primary school children also receive free school meals. Previously, the benefit also applied to children in high school, but in recent years it has been abolished.

Children studying at school can receive a discount of half the cost to provide a cultural program such as visits to theaters, museums and other cultural and entertainment events.

How else can parents save money?

When purchasing Russian Railways tickets for yourself and a schoolchild, you can receive not only a half-price discount. If you know certain points, you can save a lot on tickets for the whole family.

Russian Railways provides the following types of savings when purchasing train tickets:

1. Purchase tickets on Tuesdays until 12.00. During this period, you can buy tickets with a significant discount for groups of citizens who are not eligible to receive benefits. When buying a ticket for a student, you need to calculate which price will be more profitable and use the more acceptable option. Such tickets can be purchased electronically or at Russian Railways ticket offices.
2. The basic rule for saving when buying tickets is to purchase in advance 45-41 days before the travel date. The opportunity to purchase tickets opens 45 days before the train departure date. It is at the beginning of the start of sales that you can catch a price that is 40% cheaper.
3. If you were unable to buy a ticket 45-41 days in advance, you can successfully buy a ticket with a good discount 1-2 days before the departure date or immediately before the departure itself. But in this case, seats in inexpensive cars may run out, and then you will have to buy much more expensive seats in luxury cars.
4. When using the Sapsan train, which transports passengers between Moscow and St. Petersburg, the birthday person can receive a discount of half the ticket price when purchasing a ticket. To do this, you must present a passport containing your date of birth. This benefit can be used only once a year, but it is valid for a week before and after the celebration. You can also extend this benefit to 3 of your friends for a trip.
5. If you regularly use the Sapsan train for travel, you can apply for the “Two Capitals” card, which gives you the opportunity to purchase tickets with a 50% discount. True, the possibility of using it is limited to certain days and hours.
6. Also, when traveling by train more than once every six months, you can apply for a Russian Railways bonus card. But it only applies its discounts to luxury carriages.
7. During children's holidays in the spring, children from 10 to 17 years old who are studying at school are given a 50% discount on tickets in luxury carriages.
8. When purchasing seats on the upper shelves, discounts from 20 to 40% are also provided from the cost of lower seats when purchased by any family member.

Thus, parents with schoolchildren can save significantly on traveling around Russia with children in any period except summer. But if desired, the whole family can buy train tickets at a profit. To do this, you need to know the discounts and promotions that Russian Railways is offering this year.

The Russian Law “On Education” was able to resolve the issue of providing financial support measures for students. This law came into force back in 2012. It means that in student life you can use various benefits with the help of the state.

Discounts for schoolchildren on train tickets in the summer of 2019 - Russian Railways confirms the promotion

Secondly, and this follows from the first feature, A student's certificate for travel in the summer is not needed. Let us remind you that during the school year such a certificate is not required when purchasing a train ticket for a schoolchild. However, this document is required when boarding the train. In the summer, no document is required that confirms the fact of studying at a school or other educational institution. This is not a condition for granting benefits at all.

The “Happy Vacations” campaign is formally associated with the popularization of domestic tourism and increasing the mobility of Russians. All this is true, and the Russian government has officially approved the action as significant for Russian families. But, of course, Russian Railways also pursues its own commercial interests. Thus, thanks to the summer discount, Russian families are more willing to travel with children by train. Railways are outperforming alternative modes of transport for leisure travel. This means that train occupancy and the railway carrier’s profit are growing.

To buy a discounted ticket for an electric train, you must provide a passport and a document that confirms your right to receive this benefit. Students must show their student ID. Beneficiaries who live in the capital or the Moscow region must have a social security card. If it is available, the owner is automatically exempt from the need to present documents.

It is expected that in the current 2019, schoolchildren's travel on electric trains will amount to up to 50% of the full ticket price. If the financial situation of the region worsens, local authorities can increase the percentage to 70-80 points. With a serious reduction in funding, schoolchildren will pay the entire cost of the ticket.

Benefits for schoolchildren on train travel in 2019

Discounts on intercity and local electric trains allow parents to save up to 100% of the ticket price. The size of the discount depends on the region and the financial status of the parents. For large and low-income families, the government provides schoolchildren with free rides on intercity trains during school hours.
