OREANDA-NEWS  Russian Railways began to sell on its website in addition to railway tickets for planes of all Russian air carriers and buses of a number of companies: this is offered on routes where it is impossible to get only by train, the RIA Novosti correspondent noted and explained in the company.

If a route was set that could not be reached by rail, then information surfaced that no tickets were found. However, in 2020, the company launched a multi-modal route constructor. Russian Railways gradually began to offer such trips to certain destinations, when it was possible to buy trips on different types of transport in one order. These were popular destinations for passengers, for example, tourist destinations.

The holding expanded this option, and now on the Russian Railways website you can buy a plane and bus ticket for the railway, in fact, between all cities of Russia where carriers selling tickets online work.

"Now the platform ... has accumulated ticket content from more than 5,000 carriers, including all long-distance rail, all Russian airlines, bus companies and operators of regular water routes (both river and sea). Routes can be built between cities where there are carriers with a sufficient degree of automation and digitalization of activities. The pool of carriers is certainly expanding," Russian Railways told RIA Novosti.

So, on the company's website, when choosing such a trip, it is proposed to get to the desired city by combining trains, planes or buses, and somewhere even water transport.
