On itself, as they say, it's customary not to save, but on public transport - why not. It's not always possible to go by car, and transport, although it happens faster, does not always end up with a cheap means of transportation. In such cases, information on how to save on trips on buses, trams or metro is not superfluous.
Take for example the metropolitan transport system. Yes, not everyone lives in Moscow, but many people visit this city, not having an idea that traveling can be much cheaper. So, here are some simple examples and rules.
Do not buy one or two trips
This is a ticket called "One" - it is often sold by drivers in public transport. Many people think that if they need two trips, then they need to buy no more, and after all with such a ticket the average cost of the trip is 55 rubles.
Use the "Troika" card
Another thing is to replenish the balance of the card "Troika". You can buy it at any Metro ticket office for 50 rubles (and then return and receive money back). One trip with such a card costs 35 rubles on any type of transport. It is enough to put on a card, for example, 100 rubles, and two trips by metro and, say, a bus for 90 minutes will cost not 110 rubles, but only 54 rubles.
It is noteworthy that all subsequent trips with such a ticket for 90 minutes will be free of charge.
Buy unlimited travel
This is in case you need to travel a lot on public transport for 1-3 months. For a month, such a ticket (incidentally, recorded on the card "Troika") will cost 2,000 rubles, but with frequent travel, the average cost of one trip is incredibly profitable - about 8-10 rubles.
Get a cashback for replenishing your ticket
To cost the trip was even lower, you can go for a little trick. For example, Bank "Otkrytie" allows to receive 10% of the cashback in the promotion category - in April this is just public transportation and refueling. Additional benefit - 1% cashback for all purchases (and 1.5% if purchases from 30,000 rubles per month) and 7.5% on the balance of the Smart Account, which opens with the card. The card is ordered using a mobile application in a couple of minutes, and free delivery is possible in one of 34 Russian cities. By the way, if you deserve 1.5% of the cashback, having paid for a month of purchase for more than 30 000 rubles, then the card will be free of charge.
The application itself (by the way, the universal link to iOS and Android) is incredibly technological. After activation of the card you will get access to all the functions: you can refill the account free of charge from the cards of other banks, follow the free withdrawals, cacheback, fulfill the conditions for free maintenance and track expenses on the card, change the PIN-code of the card and lock / unlock it.
And there are many services for payment without commission, profitable currency conversion, transfers to customers "Discovery" by phone number and to other banks by card number, templates of favorite payments, support for Apple Pay to pay by smartphone or clock, quick chat with friendly support and many other functions. You can completely forget about going to the bank office.
These simple tips will help you minimize your costs for public transport. Even if you do not live in Moscow, the same Smart Card will be useful in any city, because its privileges and opportunities are not limited to the capital alone.
