The option is available in the Russian Railways app for smartphone users on Android OS

"Russian Railways" (RZD) has introduced measures for the safe transportation of animals after the story with the cat Twix. The mobile application has the ability to specify the nickname and type of pet when оформлении a ticket for long-distance trains, the company said. Russian Railways promised to improve the system in January of this year.

A representative of Russian Railways clarified that the new option is only available for smartphones based on Android OS. Apple smartphone owners will not be able to use it, since the "RZD Passengers" application was removed from the App Store. The company noted that in the future the option will appear on the RZD website.

Russian Railways planned to change the rules for transporting animals after the incident with the cat Twix, which occurred in January 2024.

The conductor took the animal for a stray and released it from the car at the station in Kirov. Later, Twix was found dead.
