But only in those regions where important projects are being developed
Regions where strategically important projects in the field of railway transport are being implemented will be able to quickly increase tariffs for passenger trains. As it became known to MK, it is proposed to make an exception for «advanced» cities and regions in terms of ticket price increases.
Today commuter train fares are driven directly by rising consumer prices. Railroad workers do not have the right to outpace the rate of rise in prices for basic products and goods. There is, however, one exception — if inflation has grown faster than the cost of tickets for three years, then fares can “catch up” with it. The document developed by the Federal Antimonopoly Service offers another exception. After the adoption of the document, the cost of travel in electric trains will be able to grow faster than the level of consumer prices if strategic or priority projects are implemented in the region. In the case of Moscow and the Moscow region, we are talking primarily about the Moscow Central Diameter.
