It’s not news for anyone that to travel by public transport you need to buy a ticket. This question is especially relevant for tourists, because taxiing is quite expensive, and traveling by public transport, you can not only save, but also join the culture of the country. A public transport ticket is different in different countries. It can be only for one trip on one type of transport, it can be for a trip on several modes of transport, and it can only act for some time after its designation.
A tourist who has come to an unfamiliar country for the first time needs to know by what principle one can buy a ticket here (time or travel) and what type of transport it applies to. This will help to avoid unpleasant situations when meeting with controllers in transport.
In addition, it is worth asking whether it is possible to buy a single ticket for a longer time. Such tickets, in general, can reduce travel costs by more than half. Especially for tourists who travel a lot to have time to see all the sights of the city.
It is also worth considering that in some countries the city is divided into zones, and a ticket that operates in one zone is no longer valid in another. You may not even notice this, since the stopping point is considered to be stops and it is difficult for an unprepared person to keep track of this. But when meeting with the auditor, such unconsciousness can fly into a round fine. For example, in the Czech Republic outside of Prague, a zone begins to operate, to which all travel cards apply. After several stops, another zone begins, in which the cheapest ticket, which still has a reserve of time (in the Czech Republic, tickets operate for a certain time), will no longer be valid.
If in the Czech Republic travel cards are valid for some time, and during this time you can ride all types of public transport, then in Moscow you will have to buy a ticket for each
type of transport. This will cost quite a large amount, the way out of this situation is to buy a single
ticket. Moscow will then become much cheaper in terms of transport, and you will not have to be afraid of meeting with the controller. And also it will not be necessary to buy a new ticket every time, switching to another type of transport.
Of course, there is an opportunity not to buy a ticket at all and ride a hare, but this option is suitable only for fans to tickle their nerves. After all, the ticket control system is well established in any country, and it will not work for a long time. After all, you need to know at what stops the controllers usually go and approximately at what time, and the tourist will be able to find out such information only by riding for a very long time and along the same route.
The best option for a tourist is to buy a ticket and not worry about the little things, but enjoy your vacation. After all, the cost of public transport is much less than the cost of a taxi, and you should not reduce this economy to an even lower figure, because popular wisdom says that the greedy pays a lot, and as a result it turns out to be true.
