Railway ticket will include bed cost


Railway ticket will include bed cost
Russian railroads changed the method of payment for bed linen in the 1st class and 2nd class sleepers. Since August 1 the price of bed will be automatically included in the cost of ticket regardless of a passenger wish. Thus the latter will increase by 45 rubles in the 2nd class sleeper, in the 1st class sleeper – by 90 rubles, in the brand-name (‘firmenny») trains - by 67 and 112 rubles respectively. The passengers travelling in the daytime will hardly like the innovation. At the same time there are positive results - now the possibility of bed overpricing widely used by trainmen at present will be excluded. The trainmen will also lose the possibility of selling to a passenger bed linen already used by another passenger. Since winter such an order is already working on trains of the road Moscow - Saint Petersburg. Nothing will change in reserved-seat passenger cars where many passengers do not take bed linen.
