There are different situations when a child needs to be sent on a trip alone. For example, your son or daughter is going to visit their grandmother in a neighboring town, or they are going on an excursion-festival-olympiad-championship, or go to the warm sea. At what age can children travel alone on a train?

Children under 7 years of age are not allowed to ride on trains without adult accompaniment. From the age of 7, each child buys an adult ticket at the box office or travels alone on a travel pass. If the child turns 7 years old on the day of departure of the train, then a ticket is issued for him at the children's fare. Children under 5 years old, accompanied by adults, ride the train for free, children from 5 to 7 years old - at a children's rate.

On trains long distance unaccompanied children can ride after they turn 10 years old. Before this age, travel is only possible if accompanied by an adult. Tickets for children from 5 to 10 years old are issued at a children's fare, for children under 5 years old a “ticket without a seat” is issued free of charge. Up to 14 years of age, a ticket is issued on the basis of a birth certificate. To board the train, you need the original certificate, boarding on a copy is allowed only if it is notarized.

Children under the age of 10 can also travel without parents or guardians. This is possible if the child is using rail transport to visit educational institutions.

Many people ask if there are discounts for schoolchildren when buying train tickets. According to the rules of Russian Railways, such benefits are provided to schoolchildren and pupils of educational institutions over 10 years old. The benefit is not valid all year round, but only from September 1 to May 31. What will the discount be? 50% for travel in common, reserved seat and carriages with seats for long-distance fast and passenger trains in domestic traffic. If the train is branded, then there will also be a discount, but you will have to pay the difference between the fare on the branded train and the fare on a regular fast or passenger train.

Transportation of children by rail is the most responsible business. Children are always classified as passengers who require additional security measures and documentation for their transportation.

Therefore, for this type of transportation, there are not only preferential rates and discounts for the purchase of tickets, but also a special approach to organizing the trip of a child or a group of children.

All rules are enshrined in the legal framework, which should always be guided not only by officials, but also by officials responsible for the safety of children or parents.

The legislative framework

All regulations that must be observed when transporting children different ages and under various conditions and circumstances, are specified in the Rules for the provision of transportation by rail in the Russian Federation.

This letter serves as additional documentation for resolving issues related to the organization of the transportation of children in the amount of more than 5 people.

We also note one more detail. On the basis of civil or Family Codes RF, as well as, edited on 11/28/15, within the country, children's trips are not formalized by any consent from parents or guardians in writing.

Moving children with parents

In terms of issuing tickets and the rules for transporting children on long-distance and short-distance trains, there are their own requirements, which are as follows:

1. If a child under the age of 5 can be in the arms of an adult, then a ticket is not bought for him, but a ticket for free travel is issued.
2. In order to issue a travel card for a child, a birth certificate or any other document that can confirm the identity of the child must be presented.
3. Children aged 5 to 10 must travel with their parents on trains. For this, a special child ticket whose rate has been reduced.
4. For children over 10 years old, the ticket is bought the same as for adults.
5. On long-distance flights, children cannot travel without an adult. Except for those cases when children need to go to school, to competitions, olympiads and other general educational events.
6. You can purchase a ticket and determine the age of the child on the day of the start of the trip.
7. If one of the parents is taking their child across the border Russian Federation, then the consent of the second parent is not needed for this. But this is possible only in those cases when the border service did not receive any disagreements from the second parent about the removal of his child by the other parent.
8. When transporting a minor Russian citizen who has his passport in his hands, but travels without any accompaniment (by parents, guardians, adoptive parents or trustees), in addition to the passport, such a citizen must also have the consent of one of the parents to travel, drawn up by a notary.
9. Departure to Commonwealth countries Russian children under 14 can leave if they have a birth certificate and an insert in it or a stamp that would confirm that a minor child belongs to Russian citizenship. And children aged 14 and older - on the basis of a Russian passport.

Commonwealth countries are those that have signed an international agreement on the mutual organization of border crossings of citizens.

These are the following countries:

• Belarus;
• Ukraine;
• Kazakhstan;
• Kyrgyzstan;
• Tajikistan.

When young children travel free of charge in their arms, a ticket should be purchased only for adults, and a ticket is simply issued for a child at the box office. free pass. According to the rules, there must be one child per adult in order for the baby not to buy a ticket.

In this case, the child should not occupy a separate seat and should be in the hands of the parent.

Therefore, if two or three children are traveling with a parent, then a ticket is not bought for the smallest one, but for the rest of the children it is bought, because they will occupy a separate seat.

If one seat is occupied, then it is enough to buy one ticket, if two, then they buy a ticket for each occupied seat.

If you are purchasing a ticket for yourself, and at the same time you are going to travel with a small child under the age of 5, then you will need to inform the cashier about this and present the child’s birth certificate in order to issue a free pass for him.

You can use a copy of the birth certificate upon receipt of such a travel card, but the original document must still be on hand during the trip.

However, since June 30, 2015, the requirement to have the original birth certificate of a child on hand during a long trip has already been simplified. Now a notarized copy is enough.

Moreover, the copy must be competently certified - either by a qualified notary, or by the parent's own certification with the words: “Copy is correct”, signature, date and decoding of the signature with the initials and surname of the parent carrying the child.

However, if the certification of a copy of the document is handwritten, then it is best to have its original with you. In practice, most citizens simply use copies of their child's birth certificate, which they have previously certified by a notary.

If a child with a passport is already a citizen of the Russian Federation, then to cross the border without an adult, but with the written permission of one of the parents, there should be no disagreement with the second parent.

Rules for transporting children on railway transport without parents

As noted above, children who travel on long-distance trains without parents must necessarily have the consent of one of the parents authorizing such a trip.

The child must not be a minor, who is not yet 10 years old. Such children must always travel with an adult. But already from 10 to 18 years old, a child can travel unaccompanied by adults, but with properly executed documents.

If representatives of schools, a sports section or any educational institution are carrying children on long-distance trains, then such a citizen must have a notarized power of attorney from the parents of such a child.

If any documents that give permission to cross the border are not found in an adult, then such a person will be dropped off the train at the border, and the child will be sent to his parents.

Children who are on state support completely, do not travel on trains with guardians or other persons whom they, in fact, do not have. Their passage should be the responsibility of those officials who are responsible for such children.

And this, as a rule, is the administration of children's educational institutions or organizations for social protection orphans or those whose parents are deprived of parental rights.

In those cases when groups of children are taken abroad from educational institutions, then a written permission is issued for them from the administration of these institutions where such children live.

Also, summing up, it should be noted the basic rules for transporting children by rail transport across the territory of Russia without the accompaniment of their parents, but with another adult nearby.

Such rules largely coincide with the requirements for the transport of children with their parents and are as follows:

1. Children under the age of 10 should not ride alone, without the presence of any adult nearby.
2. A child is allowed to leave at stations during temporary stops only under the supervision of an accompanying person or guide, if the child travels alone.
3. All measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the child on the way, as well as its delivery safe and sound to its destination.
4. The child must be met on the platform by one of his relatives.
5. The transfer of a child to a relative is carried out only if the latter has identity documents.
6. If the trip is carried out for the purpose of travel, tourism, competitive and other events, then the child must be accompanied by the organizer of the trip - a responsible person authorized to monitor the safety of such children.
7. Upon returning from a trip, all children must be transferred strictly into the hands of their parents, guardians, adoptive parents.

Without parents, children are allowed to travel by rail if they have a travel document only within the boundaries of their region of residence.

For example, if a child goes to school every day by train or train. Such trips do not require the mandatory accompaniment of parents or permits, notarization.

A responsibility

All adults are legally responsible for the safety and proper documentation of children on rail transport. First of all, every adult who accompanies the child must monitor his behavior.

It is impossible to allow games on the platform of the station, railway station, children to get on the railway track, as well as to take other precautions and safety measures.

When transporting children in train cars, parents are advised to observe the following rules:

• children should not run around the car, shout and play noisily;
• it is necessary to observe the cleanliness and hygiene of the child, for example, take him to the toilet on time, wash, etc.;

While waiting for the train to enter the track, children should stand next to their parents, not run along the platform and not jump onto the rails. It is best if the parent holds the hand tightly for too active boys or girls.

Adults in charge of an organized group of children

The sanitary and epidemiological requirements for persons accompanying a group of children determine the following basic standards:

1. The person responsible for the trip must accompany a group of children of no more than 8-12 people.
2. At the same time, proper nutrition is necessarily organized for children, the responsibility for which also lies entirely with the accompanying person.
3. The interval between meals for children should not be more than 4 hours.
4. Be sure to also organize a drinking regimen for children.

In addition to these requirements, for organized group movements of children by rail, there is also an obligation for event leaders to Rospotrebnadzor.

3 days before the start of the trip itself, the organizer of the event should send relevant information to Rospotrebnadzor that it is planned to carry children in a certain number of people on a specific route on a specific date.

If children are traveling without any accompaniment by their parents, guardians or adoptive parents, then the travel organizers will be responsible for their safety.

Carrier

Companies engaged in the transportation of passengers on railway lines should remember the Rules for accepting written applications for transportation organized group children. Such applications must be accepted in advance, before the day of the start of the trip.

Approximately pre-applications should be made in the range of 10-45 days prior to train boarding time.

The calculation must be in accordance with the following schedule - no more than 1 adult responsible accompanying person for 10-12 children, schoolchildren.

All travel documents must be issued without errors. Especially we are talking about personal data - last name, first name and patronymic of children or accompanying persons.

It is also the responsibility of the carrier to ensure, on its part, security measures during the transportation of all passengers, not only children.

Carriage conductors have the right to reprimand parents or other persons accompanying children who do not monitor their children well when they run around the car.

In case of any violations in the behavior of children or accompanying persons that provoke conflict situation, the conductor has the right to report this to the head of the train.

The carrier is not responsible for the lack of relevant documents that are needed to transport children across the border.

For violation of the Rules and laws relating directly to the activity of transporting children by trains, the carrier may incur not only administrative, civil, but also criminal liability. It all depends on what kind of violations were made by the carrier.

During the transportation of children by train, the relevant documents proving the identity of the child, as well as travel documents, must be properly executed. Children under the age of 10 cannot travel on the train without any accompaniment.

Often parents are interested in - at what age children can be sent on a trip on their own - for example, if it became necessary to take the child to relatives for the summer holidays, but adults do not have such an opportunity due to lack of time.

Considering this issue, it is necessary to refer to the rules of intercity transportation on railway transport, according to which it is forbidden to travel by children under the age of 10 on long-distance trains without accompanying (parents, teachers, etc.). Exceptions are cases when children use railway transport to travel to educational institutions. If the trip is carried out on a suburban railway transport, then for an independent trip, the child must reach the age of 7.

It is important to note that age is considered at the time of the trip, and not the purchase of tickets for a child - so, it can be purchased - until the required number of years is reached. When boarding a child under 14 years old in railway transport, you will need to confirm his identity and age documented by presenting the original birth certificate or a copy certified by a notary. If the child has already reached the age of 14, then a passport is required.

Certificate confirming the right to preferential travel

If travel is carried out on preferential travel cards, in addition to the main document - a passport, you will need to present a certificate obtained at a general education institution (school). The certificate must contain the following information:

• F. I. About a child who provides full-time education;
• address and school number;
• date of issue;
• signature of the director of the educational institution (or the employee who replaces him).

The legal portal site draws your attention to the fact that the certificate must be certified by the seal of the educational institution - otherwise, it will not be valid.

Fares for children on railway transport

The fare for children is lower than for adults and depends on their age, as well as a number of other factors. So the fare is:

• for children under 5 years old - free of charge in the case when the child does not occupy a seat (shares it with an accompanying person), if it does, it will be necessary to issue a ticket in accordance with children's tariffs;
• for children from 5 to 7 years old - in accordance with children's tariffs;
• for children over 7 years old - in accordance with the tariffs for adults.

Railway safety

Even if the child has reached the age at which independent travel is allowed, one should not forget about his safety. Unfortunately, quite often there are various unpleasant, and sometimes tragic situations. In order to avoid negative consequences (or at least reduce the likelihood of their occurrence to a minimum), it is necessary to explain to the child the safety rules in railway transport:

1. It is possible to cross railway tracks only at specially equipped crossings.
2. If the crossing is located on the same level as the railroad tracks, you must make sure that there is no approaching train.
3. It is forbidden to cross the railroad tracks at the prohibitory signal of a traffic light (if any).
4. Can't use mobile phone during the transition through the path, as well as use headphones. it can be distracting.

In addition to the standard safety rules, it is recommended to use the following tips:

• it is better to buy a ticket in the cars located in the middle of the train. they are usually the safest;
• it is recommended to buy a ticket for a child to the lower seat - he can fall from the top and get various injuries;
• if possible, you need to accompany the child and turn to the conductors with a request to control him on the way, as well as to select passengers who inspire confidence and ask them to do the same;
• upon arrival at the destination, the child must be met by relatives who must be informed in advance of the arrival time, carriage number and place, as well as other important details;
• instruct the child about the rules of conduct in cases of possible delay of those meeting.

Of course, it is better not to send a child alone, but if the need for this nevertheless arose, you need to prepare for the trip with all responsibility and not only prepare an established list of documents, but also pay attention to safety rules.

Often parents are interested in the question: from what age can you ride a train unaccompanied by adults?

How old do you have to be to ride the train alone?

Unaccompanied by adults, children under 7 years of age are not allowed to travel on trains. From the age of 7, a child can buy an adult ticket for an electric train at the box office or ride on a travel card.

On long-distance trains, according to Russian laws in 2020, unaccompanied children can travel only if they are already 10 years old. Until then, travel is permitted if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

According to the rules of intercity transportation on long-distance trains, it is forbidden to travel by children under 10 years of age without being accompanied by parents or teachers.

As an exception, children can travel by rail if they are going to a general education institution, and there is no other way to get there.

If the trip is carried out by rail on suburban transport, then the child must be at least 7 years old to travel independently.

Children from 2-12 years old can travel with an accompanying adult or a passenger under 18 who has already reached legal capacity.

Is a power of attorney required? For transportation of children over 12 years old under the supervision of the carrier, a written application from parents or guardians will be sufficient.

Many are interested in how old you can ride a train without parents in Russia and can a child of 14 years old ride alone on a train?

If the child has already reached the age of 14, then he can travel independently, only he should present his passport. When boarding a railway transport of a child of 13 years old, confirmation of his age and identity in documentary form will be required.

To do this, it is enough to present a birth certificate in the original or a copy certified by a notary.

Can a child at the age of 16 ride trains on their own? Yes, such a minor can independently move to another city if he has a passport and a ticket.

Age is taken into account at the time of the trip, not the purchase of tickets. A child can purchase a ticket only after presenting an identity document.

When boarding a carriage, the conductor checks the ticket and a document proving his identity for any passenger. If there are benefits, a document entitling the right to benefits is presented.

The cost of travel for children on railway transport

The fare depends on the age of the children, the ticket price is much lower than for the adult population, for example:

1. Children under 5 travel free of charge if the child does not occupy a seat, sharing it with an accompanying person. If the parent wishes to travel in a separate seat, then the ticket is issued in accordance with the fares for children.
2. Children 5-7 years old - according to children's tariffs.
3. Children over 7 years old ride at adult fares.

Even if children have reached the age when they are allowed to travel on their own, they should know the rules of conduct in transport and do not forget about safety, as sometimes unpleasant situations happen on trips.

In order to avoid tragic consequences or minimize them, the child should be explained the rules for the passage of minor children on a train without parents.

During the movement of railway transport, while on the platform, you should move to a safe distance. Railway tracks can only be crossed at specially equipped crossings.

When locating the crossing at the same level as the railroad tracks, make sure that there is no approaching train nearby.

It is not allowed and prohibited:

In addition to the standard safety rules, we suggest using the following tips:

It is very important to talk about safety with the child himself, because even an adult is not safe to ride on the train. The train may swerve at speed or stop abruptly.

Do not allow your child to walk around the carriages or get out of the carriage at a stop, he may get lost or fall behind the train. Forbid him to come into contact with suspicious strangers.

If there is a request for help, then let the baby better turn to a woman, especially if she is traveling with her children.

Finding out whether it is possible to send a child on a train alone, you can plan a trip for a child to visit his grandmother or on an excursion, but it is still better not to send children on a trip alone.

If such a need arose, then it is necessary to prepare for this trip with all responsibility, not only by preparing required documents but also paying attention to safety rules.

Remember that better than a parent, no one will follow the child and ensure his safety.

Sending a child alone is dangerous, even if he is already 10 years old, so try not to let him go without the need for one on long-distance trains!

In almost every family where children grow up, there are situations when a son or daughter needs to get to another city, and the parents do not have the opportunity to bring him. Moms and dads should know how old you can ride a train alone in order to avoid unpleasant situations on the road.

Unaccompanied children

The age of the child is taken into account on the date of departure of the train, and not at the time when the travel document was purchased.

When planning children's travel abroad, most legal representatives question whether minors can ride the train unaccompanied. Children can leave Russia on their own with the written consent of one of the parents or other legal representatives (guardians, adoptive parents), certified by a notary.
