In Russian Railways, you can use biometrics to buy tickets and board a train

В РЖД по биометрии можно будет купить билеты и сесть на поезд

The new feature will be available starting from September 1, 2025.

For long-distance trains, passengers will be recognized using the Unified Biometric System (UBS) and the Unified Identification and Authentication System (EISIA). For high-speed rail transport, only the UBS will be used.

Traditional tickets will remain valid. Passengers will be able to choose how they prefer to buy tickets and board the train: with a passport or using biometrics.

To ensure a smooth train journey, here are nine harmful tips you should avoid.
