Yandex Travel Now Shows Discounts to Users When Purchasing Train Tickets

The hints, in particular, work for birthday people and their friends, the elderly, or schoolchildren

Yandex Travel has started showing discounts to users when purchasing train tickets. These can be not only special conditions for a specific passenger, but also benefits and discounts for birthday people and their friends, the elderly, and schoolchildren.

For example, a Sapsan ticket from Moscow to St. Petersburg for the May holidays costs 3736 rubles, and with a birthday discount - 2615 rubles. The system will prompt this when ordering a ticket.

In this update, we managed to collect information about different types of discounts so that travelers can easily find the best deals. For example, we will suggest that within seven days before and after the birthday, a user with friends can travel with a discount of up to 30%. Our tips will help you save several thousand rubles.

To take advantage of the offer, you need to specify the direction and dates of the trip, and then select a suitable train, carriage and seat from the list.

Based on passenger data, the system will suggest all the discounts that are available to each of them. The exact amount of the discount is calculated before payment, during checkout.

However, when boarding the train, it is important to have documents confirming the right to a discount with you, for example, a certificate from school or a pension certificate. They may be asked to show them and it is better that the passenger has them.
