Unfortunately, not many travelers know that buying a train ticket gives them some privileges. Or rather, a set of free services, which are often trying to sell obsessive guides. We tell what is included in this complex and what should not be done.
Get another ticket when you are late for your train
If for some reason you are late for your train, then you have full right to pay a certain amount and renew your ticket (within 24 hours) without buying a new one.
Leave ahead of time
Not everyone knows that having a ticket allows you to leave by another train, departing for several hours (or even days) ahead of time, provided, of course, availability. And you do not need to specifically stand in the ticket office to issue a new ticket with a different date.
Borrow the entire luggage compartment if you have a lower shelf
Few people know that if you have purchased a seat on the lower shelf, then you have every right to fully occupy the luggage compartment and not share it with other passengers. Where, then, should a man put his things to himself, who does not get such a trump card? On the uppermost shelf, of course.
Get off anywhere along the route, and then go on without losing a ticket
There is a rule according to which a passenger of a train can stop anywhere along the way with the extension of the validity of his ticket (but not more than 10 days). For example, you suddenly decided that you urgently need to look at all the sights of this town and nothing else. Then you go off the train, find the cashier and show your ticket, where you need to put a special stamp. Just remember that you need to do this within 3 hours of arrival, otherwise you will lose this right. And then, when you resume the trip, you will need to pay a certain amount and continue your route.
To contact the guide about additional services
A glass, a spoon, a fork, a set of threads and needles, medicines, as well as board games (for example, checkers, chess and dominoes) must be issued by the conductor as soon as you ask him. And in any case, do not offer you these services on a fee basis!
Free use of the toilet at the station
Almost at all stations now, to get to the toilet, you need to pay a certain amount. But if you have a ticket (including electronic one), when presented with you, you do not have the right to charge a fee for visiting the toilet on the way of the train.
