The corresponding resolution, as reported on the website of the Cabinet, was signed by the head of the Russian government Mikhail Mishustin.

“A 50% discount applies to tickets in general and reserved seats on long-distance trains of all categories,” the statement said.

It is noted that “the reduced summer fare is available for young passengers and on trips around the rest of the country,” so “for travelers under 10 years of age, a child fare is provided, and children under 5 years travel on trains for free without providing a separate seat."

Earlier it was reported that this year the Yalta administration intends to spend a year-round holiday season and take up to 4 million vacationers.
