Nizhny Novgorod residents will be able to buy tickets for the electric train through MAX.

      On July 6, 2026, at 15:00, the RZD Society plans to launch ticket sales for suburban trains through the national messenger MAX across Russia in 2026. This was reported by RIA Novosti, citing the company.

      The pilot started in March of this year in the Novosibirsk region, and then the service was connected in the Omsk and Kemerovo regions, as well as in the Altai and Krasnoyarsk territories.

      As of July 1, it has also started operating in the Northwest. The company stated that a decision on full launch will be made after checking the platform's stability and analyzing demand, convenience, and user feedback.

      Currently, the company hopes to expand the service nationwide this year. The Moscow transport hub will be an exception, where its own sales system operates.

      However, before scaling up, it is important to conduct a comprehensive analysis: to assess not only the growing demand but also the technological resilience of the platform, the convenience of the interface for different categories of passengers, and to gather feedback.

      It was previously reported that a high-speed train "Finist" may be launched in the Nizhny Novgorod region in 2027. The NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX. Subscribe to stay updated on major events, exclusive materials, and operational information.
