If these conditions are met, a student ticket is issued. During the school year, in addition to summer holidays, the state provides a discount of 50% of the total cost of the ticket. In the summer, schoolchildren who are 10 years old do not receive such assistance. This is due to the fact that many deceptions of Russian Railways employees took place. Graduates who are no longer schoolchildren call themselves high school students to take advantage of reduced fares.
