Nizhny Novgorod updates CityCard fares for students and concession passengers
CityCard has introduced new fare prices for concession passengers across Nizhny Novgorod’s urban and suburban transport routes. The updated rates apply to schoolchildren, students, and other eligible travellers. Changes also affect how existing top-ups are processed from May 5 onwards.
The revised pricing structure offers different options for each passenger group. Schoolchildren can now purchase a 20-trip pass for 300 rubles, a 40-trip pass for 600 rubles, or a 60-trip pass for 900 rubles. An unlimited monthly pass for school routes costs 1,050 rubles.
Students travelling on urban routes will pay 600 rubles for a 40-trip pass and 900 rubles for a 60-trip pass. Their unlimited monthly pass is also set at 1,050 rubles. For those using both urban and suburban services, a student e-wallet provides a 50% discount on fares. General concession passengers have three new options: a 20-trip pass for 300 rubles, a 40-trip pass for 600 rubles, or an unlimited monthly card for 960 rubles. These adjustments follow earlier reports by Pravda-NN suggesting that paper tickets may soon disappear from the city’s transport network. From May 5, any previously scheduled top-ups made at the old rates must be completed via NFC through the CityCard mobile app. Alternatively, passengers can use self-service terminals at Nizhny Novgorod metro stations, My Documents (MFC) centres, or CityCard service points.
The fare changes bring updated pricing for schoolchildren, students, and concession passengers. Processing old-rate top-ups now requires specific methods, including the CityCard app or designated terminals. The adjustments align with ongoing efforts to modernise Nizhny Novgorod’s public transport system.
