Free travel for pensioners in the Moscow region

Free travel for pensioners is a topic that interests many citizens. The fact is that in Russia in some regions people who have reached retirement age have the right to use public transport without paying for services. Previously, this benefit was granted to everyone who received a pension certificate. But today the situation has changed a little. Now citizens only under certain circumstances have the right to free travel. Is he laid down for the elderly in the Moscow Region? If so, how many times can this benefit be used? All this will be discussed later.

By regions

Is there always a free travel for pensioners? As practice shows, the decision to grant benefits to people who have reached retirement age remains for a specific region. This means that the issue is considered at the regional level.

In other words, somewhere there are benefits and free transportation, somewhere not. To learn more precise information is recommended in the administration of a particular locality.

It is also worth noting that the right of a pensioner to free travel, if it exists, is used for specific modes of transport. In some cases, some vehicles do not allow the use of transportation services without payment. All these factors must be taken into account. So what can you say about pensioners in Moscow and the Moscow region? Can they enjoy the right of free travel in this or that transport?

Is there a right

First of all, it is necessary to understand whether, in principle, the free travel to pensioners in Moscow and the region is free. Maybe in this area citizens of retirement age do not have any benefits?

Fortunately, this is not so. In general, citizens can use the services of free transportation on public transport. But only under certain conditions. As practice shows, now in the Moscow region there are a lot of pensioners who travel on these or other means of public transportation for free. But in what situations are they entitled to benefits? And when you have to pay anyway?

Applicants

The fact is that the free travel for pensioners is not laid in all cases. Modern citizens who have reached the retirement age can not just exercise their right. They just do not have one. Only certain categories of people in Moscow and the region are able to use public transport services free of charge.

Who exactly supported such benefits? To date, this is:

  • Veterans of the Second World War;
  • Heroes of the USSR or the Russian Federation;
  • Back workers;
  • Inhabitants of besieged Leningrad;
  • Victims of fascists;
  • Relatives of the heroes of labor;
  • People who participated in the elimination of technological disasters;
  • Victims of man-made accidents;
  • Disabled people;
  • disabled children.

Accordingly, not every citizen has the benefit studied. But such rules are valid only in Moscow and the Moscow region. This must be remembered.

Declaration of rights

Special attention should be given to such a moment as a statement on the rights to free travel for pensioners of a particular category. The main problem is that you simply can not use the benefits. They need to be claimed. But how is this done?

Everything is quite easy and simple. When paying for travel, a citizen provides an identity card and certificates that indicate certain benefits. If there is a pension certificate, you can use it. In any case, if during the use of public transport does not declare the availability of benefits, they can not be used.

Compensation

Sometimes, free travel to pensioners of the Moscow region and other regions of the country can be replaced. Citizens who do not wish to use the proposed benefit are entitled to receive monetary compensation. To be more precise, the premiums to the pension.

To do this, it is best to contact the city administration and clarify how to inform the FIU that you want to replace the right of free travel. Fortunately, such a situation is a huge rarity. That is why it is not worth dwelling on this issue.

Changes in laws

But it's not so simple. Now in Russia, in all regions, issues related to the provision of such benefits as free travel for pensioners are being reviewed. Citizens who went on a well-deserved rest, and live in the Moscow region or the capital, in 2015, touched on some innovations. What is it about?

The fact is that due to the adopted regional law, free travel in transport has remained, but can not claim it now:

  • Veterans of labor ;
  • Military pensioners;
  • People without preferential status.

All the others have reserved the right to use public transport for free. This change was developed and adopted in order to save the state budget.

What are the rights of beneficiaries

And what specific possibilities are offered by free transportation in transport? Pensioners will be served in public transportation vehicles on the following principles:

  1. Free to carry people of retirement age, if they use the services of commuter transport or electric trains.
  2. Without payment, it is necessary to deliver citizens to the place of treatment by public transport.
  3. Veterans in Moscow have the right to use municipal public transport without paying service fees. For example, you can safely ride a bus.

There are no other significant benefits and opportunities. And this fact must be taken into account by every citizen. Otherwise, he will think that he generally should not enjoy the benefits of public transport in Moscow and the Moscow region.

What does not work?

It has already been said that not all vehicles offer these opportunities. In some situations, there are exceptions. When are pensioners of the Moscow Region not entitled to free use of their vehicles? Free travel, as already mentioned, is offered only to certain categories of citizens. The remaining pensioners, he is not laid in the region.

But beneficiaries, too, in certain circumstances must pay for the use of transportation services. Namely:

  • If they use "minibuses";
  • When using taxi services.

The rest of the transport offers benefits on the previously mentioned rules. "Private owners" provide the right of free travel at their own discretion. But neither in Moscow, nor in other cities such tendencies are not visible.

Results

What conclusions can be drawn from all of the above? Free travel for pensioners in Russia, in particular in Moscow and the region, is. But it is not for everyone. At the moment, the authorities are trying to abolish this privilege for most citizens.

You have to claim your rights, otherwise you will not be able to realize one or another "bonus" from the state. Without an identity card and certificates of evidence, belonging to a certain category of beneficiaries will have to use public means of transportation on general grounds. Similar rules are in force in all regions of the country, not only in the Moscow region.
