From December 30 to January 7 they will run according to the Saturday schedule, on January 8 - according to the Sunday schedule, on the ninth everything will return to normal.
In addition, on New Year's Eve, on some routes, the last night trains will depart from stations an hour later.
On the Leningrad direction, which is served by another carrier company - the Moscow-Tver Suburban Passenger Line - from January 1 to 8, all electric trains, both "Swallows" and regular ones, will run on a weekend schedule. All changes have already been loaded into the schedule applications - "Electrics" and "Yandex.Electrics", and can also be viewed on the Russian Railways website.
The fare will rise in price, but not by much
When going on a trip, do not forget that from January 2, travel prices in Moscow are changing - a trip on the Troika will rise in price by one ruble, instead of 35 rubles you will have to pay 36. Prices for season tickets will rise by several tens of rubles. But not significantly - the maximum increase in price is 3.8 percent.
But electric trains, as Maxim Dyakonov, executive director of the Center for Transport and Communications, promised, will most likely not rise in price next year. But in the first half of the year, the company is finally going to release an application through which it will be possible to buy one-time tickets for trips, which will save passengers from having to run to the ticket office every time - today 70 percent of tickets sold at ticket offices and machines are one-time tickets.
By the way
Also, on January 1st, the turnstiles will be removed from large buses with accordions. In return, a validator will appear at each door. The city is also promising to tighten controls. In total, according to Mosgortrans estimates, 60 buses and 15 tram routes. Removing the turnstiles will speed up the journey for each passenger by an average of 5 minutes.
