History

2012: over 85 billion rubles will be allocated for the development of suburban passenger transport infrastructure

Russian Railways assured that suburban transportation in Russia cannot be earned, so the authorities must subsidize them. In 2011, Russian Railways completely abandoned independent suburban transportation - they are engaged in suburban passenger companies (PPK), which are owned by Russian Railways (as a rule, manages a control package) and the regions. The subjects of the federation themselves agree with the PPK on the schedule of transportation and the cost of tickets. If the regional authorities want to make tariffs lower, then, according to the authors of the reform, PPK should receive subsidies from the budgets.

In December 2012, it became known that the Moscow budget and Russian Railways will allocate more than 85 billion rubles for the development of suburban passenger transport infrastructure in 2012-2020. The corresponding agreement, as reported in a press release of the capital's government, was signed by the head of the RZHDVladimir Yakunin and mayor Sergei Sobyanin.

According to the agreement, Moscow will provide 47 billion rubles, Russian Railways - 38 billion rubles.

According to RIA Novosti, at the signing ceremony, Sobyanin said that the funds will be allocated to "the most priority, hot directions." In particular, investments will be used to build new main routes on the Kursk, Savelovsky, Kazan, Yaroslavl and Gorky directions^[1].

2011: Profit - 4.7 billion rubles

CPPC is one of the few electric operators that make a profit. In 2011, profit amounted to 4.7 billion rubles. Partly this result is explained by the high passenger traffic in the region, partly by federal subsidies. In particular, all PPKs pay only one percent of the tariff for using the Russian Railways infrastructure, and the remaining costs are compensated from the budget.
