Many people living in the nearest suburbs prefer to look for work in the capital. They are not afraid of the need to spend several hours on the road every day, because the level of salaries in Moscow is much higher. The management of the railway, taking care of its main customers living in satellite cities of the capital, back in 2011 created a travel subscription "Greater Moscow".
Advantages of rail transport
Many of those who travel from the nearest suburbs to the capital every day prefer to travel by train. The schedule of their movement does not change depending on traffic jams on the capital's highways; they are considered one of the most predictable modes of transport. Everyone who wants to get to their destination quickly and without problems choose electric trains.
The railway provides its regular users with the opportunity not only to get to the station they need in the shortest possible time, but also to save on travel by purchasing a monthly Big Moscow ticket. Subscription, coverage areawhich is limited to 25 kilometers, allows you to travel in any direction for a given distance from the stations of the capital. By purchasing such a pass, customers receive certain benefits. And this is not only savings on daily travel. Passengers who purchase this pass eliminate the need to spend time in queues at suburban train stations, allowing them to spend less time.
Subscription validity period
The Big Moscow pass was put into effect in November 2011. From this period, each passenger residing in its coverage area has the right to choose between purchasing the specified subscription once a month or buying tickets daily. True, a transport card is required to purchase a travel card. If you don't have it, you'll have to buy it. You can do this at the ticket office of most stations located within the subscription zone. When buying a monthly ticket, a special marking is applied to the card, allowing you to attach branded stickers, this is a confirmation of the purchase of a train ticket.
You can use the subscription for a whole month, making an unlimited number of trips on various trains, the only exceptions are express trains and satellites. You can also purchase this multi-use ticket in advance, but no more than 30 days in advance.
Pass valid area
Subscribe "Greater Moscow" is suitable for residents of the capital, the nearest suburbs and for summer residents in the summer season. But before you buy it, it is better to find out exactly the area of \u200b\u200bits action. if youIf you have to travel farther, then this pass is not for you. So, it can be used in the nearest suburbs of Moscow to the stations established by the railway management on electric trains with the 6000th and 7000th numbering.
In various directions, the coverage area of "Greater Moscow" is limited to the following stations:
- Kursk: Butovo, Balashikha and Zheleznodorozhnaya.
- Kazan: Tomilino and Lyubertsy 2.
- Rizhskoye: Krasnogorskaya.
- Kyiv: Vnukovo.
- Yaroslavskoye: Bolshevo, Tarasovskaya.
- Belarusian: Barvikha, Odintsovo.
- Savelovskoe: Sheremetyevskaya.
- Paveletskoye: Rastorguevo.
Advantages of "Greater Moscow"
Subscriptions for travel in commuter rail transport have been created for a long time. But with the advent of the Greater Moscow, the advantages of their acquisition became obvious. Previously created travel cards allowed in most cases to travel only in certain directions, many of them gave the right to travel only on weekdays. But the opportunity to travel by electric trains around the capital and stations of the nearest suburbs in any direction appeared only with the introduction of the Great Moscow subscription.
The organization "Central Suburban Passenger Company" (CPPK) introduced not only monthly travel passes, but also a single transport card. “Greater Moscow”, together with this document, allows you to travel for a month on various electric trains. It is worth noting that the unified map, which was created in 2012, is intended foruse in several types of transport: buses, trams, trolleybuses, metro. It is also suitable for commuter rail passengers.
Disadvantages of the Big Moscow pass
But many have consumed, along with the benefits, also note the disadvantages of this monthly pass. The Big Moscow subscription is valid only at a short distance from the capital, not covering important railway junctions that do not fall within the 25-kilometer zone established by the TsPPK.
But the main drawback, according to ordinary customers, is the inability to purchase a ticket from the station located on the border of the "Big Moscow" subscription to the necessary railway point in the Moscow region. If one-time trips are necessary, for example, to Pushkino, where a large suburban bus station is located, a train passenger must purchase a ticket from Moscow to this station. He cannot use his Bolshaya Moskva pass to Tarasovskaya and pay only the difference in the fare. The passenger has two options. First: payment of the full fare from the Moscow railway station to Pushkino. Second: get to Tarasovskaya with a subscription, get off, buy a ticket to Pushkino on the next train and go further on it, losing at least half an hour.
When trying to get to Pushkino with the Big Moscow pass, there is a risk of running into controllers. In this case, you will have to pay a fine, because traveling by train after Tarasovskaya is already considered ticketless.
Fares and possible savings
Before purchasing a Big Moscow subscription, everyone can calculate whether it is beneficial for him. Moreover, it is worth considering that you can travel by train every day in any direction without limiting the number of trips. When the subscription appeared in 2011, its cost was 1040 rubles. Subsequently, it increased to 1,750 rubles.
When the Big Moscow travel card appeared, the cost of the subscription was such that passengers who use electric trains daily could save a lot. According to the calculations of the CPPK, with the advent of a monthly ticket, the cost of travel has noticeably fallen, and the amount of savings depends on the direction of travel. For example, with daily trips to the Kursk railway station from Zheleznodorozhnaya station, the passenger will spend 35% less.
Possible travel routes
Despite the shortcomings described, the Big Moscow subscription is suitable for many. It is especially popular among people whose life or work is impossible without constant traveling. After all, with him you can not only get home, but also go around for free all the nearest suburbs. Leaving Butovo, you can go to Odintsovo, Barvikha, Balashikha, at Rastorguevo, Sheremetyevskaya or Tarasovskaya stations without any problems and additional expenses. True, it is better to try to find out in advance the schedule of the necessary trains and make your own route with a minimum number of transfers.
It is also worth noting that the creation of such subscriptions is aimed primarily at attracting additional passengers. This, according to transport workers, shouldhelp unload the subway and highways during peak hours. In addition, with the help of discounts, the management of the "CKKP" intends to attract additional passengers who will use suburban transport.
