"Electrichka" Suburban Commuter Trains Commuter covers the suburbs and nearby towns. Buy single tickets at the departing station, others at machines. There’s also a new Unified Transport Pass (as of September 1, 2000) which can be used both in suburban commuter trains and in the metro. It can be bought (i.e. the deposit for the card) for 50 roubles at any metro or RR station ticket office. But the fares for the two means of transportation should be payed for separately. The fares for commuter trains will depend on the route and they can be payed for according to the following scheme: 1, 2, 3, 4 months or weekends of one month. After date of expiry the pass can be prolonged at any RR or metro ticket office. If the passenger doesn’t want to use the card any more he must hand it in to the ticket office and get his deposit money back
