Tariff adjustment will not exceed the expected inflation limit.

Thus, ticket prices on 38 routes are expected to increase by 7%, on 3 routes by 3%. However, there will be no change in the ticket price of 16 routes.

This is done due to the tender applications of several carriers. And the carrier is responsible for the risks of reduced income on these routes.

Tariff increase for suburban trains is 37%. This is due to the increase of base rates for passenger transportation on suburban trains.

For example, the previous base price of suburban trains was 324 tenge per 100 km. And it was 3-4 times higher on highways.

In order to reduce transportation costs in the suburbs, the base rate will be increased by 30%, and the price will be 464 tenge per 100 km.

Thus, the upcoming amendments will allow to increase the efficiency of passenger transportation on socially important routes.
