Every day, millions of citizens use minibuses, buses and other public transport. Perhaps you are no exception. Therefore, you should know what not to do in such places.

Each region (subject of the Russian Federation) can establish its own rules, restrictions and prohibitions in public transport. However, many of the rules different regions they do not fundamentally differ from each other, so we will take the rules in the federal city of Moscow as a model. Such rules in the city of Moscow are established by the Decree of the Government of Moscow dated 02.09.2008 N 797-PP “On approval of the Rules for the use of public surface urban transport (trams, trolleybuses, buses) in the city of Moscow”.

According to clause 6.4. of the above Rules, passengers are prohibited from:

• travel by tram, trolleybus, bus without fare;
• to pass in soiling clothes, to carry objects and things that pollute the rolling stock or clothes of passengers;
• smoking in the cabin;
• be in the cabin in a state of intoxication, drink alcoholic and alcohol-containing products, use narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances;
• damage rolling stock and equipment in the cabin;
• arbitrarily actuate mechanisms for opening doors, fire extinguishers, escape hatch levers, rings emergency exits and other equipment, as well as prevent the closing and opening of doors, if this is not required to prevent accidents associated with a threat to the life and health of passengers;
• lean out of windows, place hand luggage on seats, and soil the seats;
• distract the driver and talk to him while driving;
• travel with invalid travel tickets;
• travel on a preferential travel document or ticket issued to another person;

• to make professional photo and video filming in the salons of the rolling stock of public surface urban transport (tram, trolleybus, bus) without the permission of the administration of transport enterprises;
• violate the order of transportation of pets.

In view of the foregoing, in the first place, you as a passenger are prohibited from using public transport without paying the fare. Getting around the city is a service, and you have to pay for the service. The amount of the fee is set by the local authorities.

It is forbidden to pass using an invalid ticket. Also, don't try to drive discount ticket owned by another person. By doing so, you are committing a scam.

It also follows from the above that you should take care of your appearance, since according to the rules you cannot use public transport while wearing clothes that can stain the bus and minibus. Also, you can not carry with you things that can stain the bus and passengers.

Please do not smoke in the cabin. For this, you can be fined under Article 6.24 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The fine can be from 500 to 1000 rubles.

There can be no talk about the possibility of drinking alcoholic beverages in transport. In addition, they cannot even be carried inside the cabin. The same applies to drugs and psychotropic drugs. For such actions, you can also be fined in accordance with Art. 20.20 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.

Also, you can not carry explosive, flammable, rapidly breaking objects with you. The same category includes firearms, poisonous, caustic and fetid substances, piercing, cutting and easily breaking objects without covers and proper packaging, hand luggage, the size of which (the sum of measurements in length, width and height) exceeds 180 cm, long objects over 190 cm (except for skis in a case), objects and things that pollute the rolling stock or passengers' clothes, animals.

Don't touch other people's things. This is especially true if things were left unattended. If the left things cause you concern (for example, if there are explosive substances there), then inform the administration of the minibus, etc., and it will already take appropriate measures with the police.

You can not break the vehicle, touch the doors, fire bottles, etc. Otherwise, you will be recorded as rowdy.

Stay out of windows. Firstly, it is dangerous, and secondly, it is illegal. Do not place bags or other items on the seats. It may stain them.

Do not distract the flight commander, that is, the driver. In this way, you can cause accidents and deaths.

Do not attempt to ride on places and elements of the vehicle that are not intended for driving. For example, many young people like to ride holding the rear rails of a tram or trolleybus. Of course, this is a portion of a good drive, but it is illegal and dangerous.

It is not allowed to take pictures and film on a video camera inside public transport. The exception is cases where there is permission from the public transport administration.

These are the main restrictions on behavior in public transport. Knowing them, it will be easier for you to behave correctly.

Your European Legal Service.

Every day using public transport, few people think about such issues as the rights and obligations of passengers. As a result, being in a conflict or emergency situation, a person simply does not know how to behave. Thus, it is an objective necessity even in everyday life.

Passenger rights

Every person who uses public transport should know the rights and obligations of passengers. Unfortunately, the first category does not include many items. Passengers have the following rights:

• for timely, high-quality and safe travel to the destination;
• to receive complete and reliable information about the conditions and route of movement, as well as compensation for harm caused in the event of an emergency;
• transport children under the age of 7 years free of charge;
• Carry the following free of charge:
  • hand luggage;
  • a stroller, sled, a pair of skis or a bicycle;
  • birds and small animals in a cage;
  • a dog on a short leash and in a muzzle;
  • cat
  • medium-sized garden tools, the sharp parts of which are packed;
• resolve disputes and claims in court.

Obligations of Passengers

When receiving, a person often remembers only his rights. Meanwhile, the duties of passengers are much more extensive. Thus, a public transport user must:

• have with you documents certifying the right to travel (ticket, travel card, certificate confirming the preferential category);
• pay for the fare and validate the purchased one-time ticket;
• keep the ticket until the end of the trip;
• when carrying large luggage, pay for each unit;
• vacate the cabin after arriving at the final stop;
• give travel documents at the request of the driver, controller or officials;
• take care of the interior of the vehicle;
• maintain cleanliness and public order;
• do not linger at the entrance doors and do not block the passage with luggage and other items;
• do not interfere with the opening and closing of doors, as well as the entry and exit of passengers;
• take care of holding on to the handrails;
• give way to the elderly, disabled, pregnant women and passengers with children;
• prepare in advance for the exit, without delaying the driver at the bus stop;
• when finding forgotten things, hand them over to the driver, conductor or dispatcher (if you are driving to the final stop).

What is prohibited for a passenger?

And passengers are closely related to a whole list of prohibitions. So, in public transport you can not do the following:

• distract the driver while driving with extraneous conversations and the purchase of tickets;
• enter the driver's cab;
• transport explosive, flammable and poisonous substances, as well as piercing objects and weapons without a case;
• pollute the interior of the vehicle;
• enter the transport in a state of intoxication;
• turn on the music loudly;
• put luggage on the seats;
• without the apparent need to use the emergency system;
• throw garbage and other foreign objects out of the windows of the vehicle.

Features of validity of travel documents

The rights and obligations of a passenger in transport are inextricably linked with the payment for the service provided. The validity of travel documents has the following features:

• Travel passes are only valid for locality in which they were purchased;
• travel ticket, subscription or discount card does not imply free transportation luggage
• Reduced tickets are valid only if the passenger has documents confirming this privilege.

Controller and features of his work

The rights and obligations of a passenger are, of course, very important points and people need to have that information. But the participants of such contractual relations, as the transportation of passengers, are not only the citizens themselves using the services of the carrier, but also the crew. Next, let's touch on some of the nuances of the controller and its interaction with people in the cabin. This is an employee who controls the full and timely payment by citizens of the transport services. He has the right:

• out of turn to enter the interior of the vehicle through the front door;
• to check observance by passengers of the established rules;
• confiscate invalid travel documents.

The controller must:

• have an official ID and a badge with a personal number (it is desirable that it be attached to the front side of the outerwear);
• have the means necessary to measure the weight and size of baggage;
• notify the driver about the start of control;
• at the request of the passenger, present an official ID, token, as well as provide the contact information of the transport company (name, address and telephone number);
• make appropriate notes on the control carried out in the reporting documentation.

Many people are suspicious of controllers in tracksuits, jeans, coats and other civilian clothes. Many even refuse to show them travel documents. Nevertheless job description the presence of a form is not prescribed, and therefore a token and a certificate are used for identification. Responding to the request of the controller who presented such documents is the direct responsibility of passengers in public transport.

What to do if you don't have a ticket?

The most important issue is the rights and obligations of the passenger. OBZh teaches us to observe safety precautions, but does not teach us to be legally literate. Of course, paying the fare is your direct responsibility. But you should know how to behave if for some reason you didn’t have a ticket (you didn’t have time to buy or validate before the controller arrived, due to life circumstances you didn’t have cash with you):

• ask the official to provide a certificate and a badge and write down their data (or take a photo);
• in a calm and polite tone, explain the reason why you did not have a ticket (or it was not validated);
• if the inspector insists that you are obliged to pay a fine, but you do not have enough money with you, offer to draw up a violation report for further transfer to the appropriate authorities (in this case, the inspector has the right to drop you off at the next stop);
• if you pay the fine on the spot, the controller is obliged to issue you a receipt;
• if you were in transport for no more than one stop, and there are witnesses to this, such a journey is not considered ticketless (according to the legislation and rules for using public transport), and therefore the controller must drop you out of the vehicle without applying any sanctions;
• if he by force prevents you from getting out of the transport, you have full right contact law enforcement authorities with the appropriate application.

Remember that the inspector has no right to yell at you, humiliate you, use physical force, detain you in transport, and even more so - check your money. At the same time, you also cannot raise your voice to the controller or dissolve your hands, because, in addition to paying a fine, you can also be held administratively liable.
