For return travel, the ticket is valid until the end of the next day. The carrier has the right to extend the validity of a return travel document (for example, until Monday inclusive if the ticket was purchased on Friday or Saturday).
Sometimes advance ticketing is possible. Thus, in St. Petersburg and surrounding areas (at the training ground of OJSC SZ PPK), registration begins 7 days in advance. In the Moscow region, at many stations at the testing site of JSC TsPPK, registration begins 10 days in advance.
To issue a ticket you need to present to the cashier:

- document confirming preferential status;
- a certificate of the right to receive a social service in the form of free travel by rail in suburban traffic (the sample certificate was approved by Resolution of the Board of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation dated November 2, 2006 N 261p).
Please note that after replacing the card with a new one, there were cases of the card not working. In this regard, if you have never used a social card to travel by train, we recommend that you have a full set of documents confirming your preferential status.
At many stations, issuing a cash-free ticket for a social card is possible not only at the box office, but also at ticket machines. We recommend using this opportunity to save your time.
An accompanying person with a disabled person of group 1 or a disabled child can issue a cash-free ticket only at the ticket office upon presentation of a passport. When issuing a ticket, a disabled person must be nearby. Traveling with an accompanying person using a non-cash ticket is only possible when accompanied by a disabled person.
If for some reason you were unable to issue a ticket at the ticket office (for example, there is no ticket office at the station), you can issue a ticket on the train. If there is no ticket office or machine at the departure station, the ticket on the train is issued free of charge; in other cases, a fee may be charged. At the training ground of JSC "Central PPK" there is currently no fee for issuing a cash-free train ticket.

The benefit is provided to students and pupils of general education institutions over 7 years of age (from 5 years to the age of 7, a child ticket is issued), full-time students of educational institutions of primary vocational, secondary vocational and higher vocational education.
In the Pskov region, the benefit is valid until June 30 inclusive (and not until June 15, as in other regions).
In the Tver, Novgorod and Vologda regions, on the trains of JSC Aeroexpress and JSC Interregional PPK, as well as on fast commuter trains in some regions, the benefit is not provided for schoolchildren and students.
Free legal advice:
In some regions, the benefit is provided regardless of the place of residence, place of study of students, or route. In some regions, the presence (absence) of benefits depends on these factors.
Thus, in Moscow and the region, benefits are provided to all Russian full-time students. On the territory of the Republic of Crimea, the benefit is provided only to students of Crimean universities.
Reduced travel is issued on the basis of student certificates and student cards (student tickets) for full-time education on the day of the trip.
In some regions, it is possible to pre-register a discounted ticket. For example, in the Leningrad region (5 days).
It is also possible to issue a ticket for the “Student Social Card” or “Student Social Card” (for the Moscow region). In Moscow and the Moscow region, the benefit is provided regardless of the place of residence of the student (pupil) and the location of the educational institution from the station (stop) where the ticket is purchased to any station (stop) to which there is a direct connection. In some cases, it is possible to issue tickets for transfer routes.

Train pass for students for a month
The 2017 student travel card can provide significant assistance to any person interested in saving their money. This document is a special student transport card, the number of trips on which is not limited.
Free legal advice:
The document is valid for 5 years. Naturally, any student who wants to save on travel has a justified interest - how much does a student travel card cost?
The cost of this type of service is 3500 rubles. If you have a student pass, you will have a convenient opportunity for free travel on almost all types of public transport in Moscow, be it the metro, bus, trolleybus, tram or electric train. With this card you save more during its validity period.
Applying for a travel pass is quite simple and will not take much of your time. To do this you need:
1. Fill out a form at the MCF branch
2.Submit 2 photos in digital format, taken on a light background
Free legal advice:
3. Provide a photocopy of your passport, which is necessary to include you in the database of your educational institution.
Prepayment is 500 rubles. After meeting all these conditions, you will be able to pay the remaining 3,000 rubles within 10 days and buy a student pass.
For students living in the suburbs or on the outskirts of the capital, we recommend purchasing a single metro ticket, the price of which is also quite low and depends on the tariff you choose. There are several types of such tickets:
A. Disposable (valid for one trip, its price is 55 rubles)
b. Discount Troika card (the price of one trip is 35 rubles)
Free legal advice:
V. Unlimited travel cards of the Unified tariff (these tickets are beneficial for those passengers who travel by metro more than 3 times a day. The train price ranges from 210 rubles per day and 2000 rubles per month of use)
Based on the above, you should pay special attention to the fact that the price of a metro ticket in Moscow depends on how often you plan to use this type of public transport. Tickets of this type are especially beneficial only for those who are forced to travel outside the metro 4-5 times a day.
Past the cash register
From mid-February, a new discounted train ticket will be introduced for students. It is convenient for those who constantly travel to Moscow and back. Now all beneficiaries, including students, have to stand in line at the ticket office every day to buy a one-time discount ticket. In February, full-time students of universities and colleges will be able to sign up for a discounted subscription and ski for a whole month without worries. The number of trips is not limited. True, only along one chosen route.
As the official representative of the Central Suburban Passenger Company (CSPC) Ilya Chernyaev told RG, in order to get the opportunity for unlimited discounted travel, you need to issue an individual plastic card (IPC) for a student. This can be done at any suburban ticket office.
Free legal advice:
To do this, you will need a personal statement, photo, passport, student ID and a certificate from the university. The cost of manufacturing the “plastic” itself is 80 rubles. When the map is ready, all you have to do is name the route (within Moscow) and pay 50% of the monthly subscription. If, for example, to Ramenskoye it costs 2,900 rubles, then with a card it will cost 1,450. Those students who have a Muscovite social card will be able to use it to apply for a discounted subscription, also at suburban railway ticket offices. You must keep the payment receipt. When passing through the turnstile, card holders (both social and individual) will simply apply the “plastic” to the turnstile.
The validity of the card is limited to one paid route. It won't work on others. In addition, the next passage through the turnstile is possible only after 40 minutes - so you can’t take the “hare” with you. And one more limitation - the discounted subscriptions do not apply to satellite electric trains, express trains and Aeroexpress trains, where tickets with seats are provided.
According to Chernyaev, the exact date for the introduction of the new student travel card has not yet been determined - it is still being tested. This will approximately happen in mid-February.

Russian legislation provides special benefits for students, since this category of citizens needs additional help and support for a number of reasons. The most well-known and in demand are discounts on travel for students on trains, on public transport and on railway tickets. However, a number of student benefits may be provided at work or may be purely social in nature.
Benefits for students - legal regulation
In Russian legislation, benefits for students are considered in various legal acts - this is due to the fact that various preferences and privileges are provided for this category of the population in different spheres of life. This category of citizens is often represented by school graduates who devote their time to study and do not work, which means they may accordingly have certain difficulties in providing themselves with the necessary means of subsistence. It is to ensure that students have the opportunity to study and subsequently become specialists in demand in the state who develop it, and various types of student benefits are provided.
At the same time, benefits for students cover various areas of public relations, providing state assistance in meeting the most important needs for students. The main areas and types of student benefits include:
- Benefits provided to students for travel.
- Labor benefits provided to working students.
- Social benefits providing additional assistance in a wide range of issues.
Most student benefits apply only to full-time students. However, labor benefits are an exception to these standards. In addition, regional benefits for students or those provided by private companies may also include their extension to correspondence students.
Legal regulation of providing benefits for students is provided by various regulations and documents. The most important in this aspect of state support are:
- Federal Law No. 273 dated December 29, 2012. This is the basic law that regulates the field of education in the Russian Federation, including considering in its provisions certain benefits provided to students of higher educational institutions.
- Chapter 26 of the Labor Code. In the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a fairly large number of articles provide for the provision of certain benefits to students within the framework of labor relations, which are mandatory for Russian employers.
The standards of the above documents are mandatory for use throughout the Russian Federation. However, a wide range of specifically provided student benefits are established directly by regional authorities, so the specific list of preferences for this category of the population may vary significantly depending on the place of study.
Labor benefits for working students
Most of the labor benefits that are provided to Russian students relate to the possibility of effectively combining education with work activities. Not every student can afford not to work - the amount of the scholarship may not be enough to ensure the required standard of living. At the same time, combining study and work can occur in several formats - both distance learning and part-time work during full-time study.
But regardless of the nature of the work, studying at a university or other institution may require the student to attend examinations, undergo internships, enroll, and write dissertations, which may complicate compliance with the requirements of internal regulations and work schedules. To ensure the protection of students in this case, they can count on:
Depending on the type of educational institution and some other factors, the above standards may slightly change and expand.
All labor guarantees related to the training of employees apply only in cases where students receive a certain level of education for the first time, including at their own request, or in situations where they are sent for training by the employer - regardless of their education. In other cases, the employer has no obligation to comply with the above-mentioned benefits for working students.
Travel benefits for students
Directly, the provisions of the Law “On Education” do not establish mandatory travel benefits for students at the federal level. However, this law imposes on regional authorities the obligation to provide social support measures for such categories of the population for travel in transport. Some events can also be carried out directly by private transport companies on their own initiative. Next, we will consider the most popular types of current transport benefits for students.
All types of student transportation benefits are provided only to full-time students. Part-time or part-time students cannot qualify for discounts or free travel.
Benefits for students on train and railway tickets in 2018
Every student in the Russian Federation has the right to use their status to purchase discounted train tickets. This discount at the federal level is provided for the purchase of tickets for long-distance trains and amounts to 50% of the ticket price. Moreover, the discount is valid at any time of purchasing a ticket - both when purchased in advance and when purchased before the train departs. However, the period of validity of such a social benefit for train tickets for students in 2018 is limited - from June 15 to September 1, it cannot be used.
Students who have been found disabled can use a 50 percent discount on trains throughout the year.
All discounts provided to students on trains apply only to movement within Russian territory and provision of travel in reserved seats. It is not possible to travel in a compartment or sleeping car at a discount - social support is provided by the state for students in order to minimize their expenses and ensure the possibility of movement, and not with the aim of providing them with the most comfortable conditions. To receive a discount, you must provide a student card or a certificate from the dean’s office confirming that the student is studying when purchasing a ticket and boarding the train.
Electric train benefits for students in 2018 are purely regional and may or may not be provided in certain regions. At the same time, the format for providing discounted travel for students on the train may be different. In some areas, discounts are offered, as when traveling on long-distance trains, while in others, it is possible to purchase discounted subscriptions and travel cards. At the same time, the period of validity of benefits may also change in comparison with the federal one.
Discounts on travel on public transport for students in 2018
Travel for students on public transport, as in the case of electric trains, is not provided at the federal regulatory level. Accordingly, different programs for providing student transport benefits may operate in different regions. For example, in Moscow, students can receive a specialized smart card to which they can deposit funds to spend on public transport with a 50 percent discount.
In most regions of the Russian Federation, the status of a full-time student allows you to purchase travel tickets or subscriptions for certain routes at a discount. Free travel for students is not provided anywhere in Russia.
In some regions, travel benefits for students in relation to public transport may be completely absent. Or, on the territory of a populated area, only a limited number of routes or carriers can provide these benefits. It should also be remembered that taxis are not considered transport in which students can count on benefits. However, some taxi services may offer various student fare discounts on their own initiative without restrictions.
Benefits for students on air tickets in Russia and water transport in 2018
One of the significant benefits of being a student is the ability to receive discounts on air tickets. At the same time, the international discount on air tickets implies the use of an international student card, with which you can count on discounts of 30% or more when making foreign flights. However, the final criteria for participation in this program depend, among other things, on the legislation of the country to which the flight is carried out - most often, an age limit of 26 or 31 years is set for card holders. But these discounts apply even to correspondence students.
Benefits for students on air tickets in Russia in 2018, as well as international ones, have no legal regulation and are provided by airlines on their own initiative. Most often, promotional offers and low ticket prices are provided by Aeroflot. The number of discounts and the likelihood of receiving them depends on the city in which the ticket is purchased - with great competition between several airlines, most likely they will also offer special discounts for students.
Students of Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as a number of other regions, can also count on discounts when purchasing tickets for water transport. Discounts are provided only for certain categories of vehicles, as is the case with the purchase of train tickets.
