Sochi residents are outraged by the rise in 3 times traveling on a "swallow", tariffs on ordinary trains also grew

Residents of the Sochi region are outraged by the rise in the cost of travel on the Swallow high -speed train three times. “Now, in order to go from Adler in Tuapse, you need to pay 550 rubles. Instead of the usual 180 rubles. <...> in such a way, in order to go from Adler in Tuapse and back together, you need to give 2200 rubles. As a result, a good amount is obtained. <...> It’s very expensive to go to relatives. Thanks to Russian Railways,” the Blog Blog Blog writes and attaches a photograph of a travel ticket.

Note that the rise in price was reported at the end of 2014. From December 29, "according to the order of the Department of Prices and Tariffs of the Krasnodar Territory, at one area of ​​10 kilometers now you will have to pay at least 50 rubles (previously the same distance was paid 16 rubles). As a result, the fare increased, ” Russian newspaper wrote. According to the publication, the document on new tariffs was published on December 19 and entered into force 10 days later.

The site Tour4tour.com explains that the rise in price is economically justified: earlier the company incurred losses and the project wanted to close , and organize transportation through the North Caucasus Railway and the Sochi training ground. However, the administration of the Krasnodar Territory decided to raise prices to leave a "swallow". At the same time, the increase in tariffs did not affect the "swallows", which began to recently run between Krasnodar and Rostov-on-Don, notes the Kuban GTRK .

At the Sochi resort, 12 pairs of “Swallow” trains run along Sochi - “Rosa Khutor” and Tuapse - Olympic Park. Five wagons in the composition of the electric train are one of the key modes of transport in the region. They were launched in Sochi during preparation for the Olympic Games - 2014. During the Olympic Games and the Paralympics of Russian Railways, the Paralympics made travel on suburban trains in Sochi free. Since March 19, 2014, the swallow electric trains again became paid.
