CJSC Azerbaijani Railways increased from March 3rd the cost of travel by high speed train Baku-Sumgait and in the opposite direction.
A ticket on the rail route Baku-Sumgait and Sumgait-Baku increased by 25% and amounts to 1 manat now. Rates of the routes starting from the intermediate stations (Bilajary and Khirdalan) have also changed.
The ASR press service noted that the rates increased in order to balance the overhead costs of railway management.
Since 2016 the power to revise the tariffs for railway transportation has been transferred to the ASR management. Prior to this regulation of tariffs for domestic rail transport was the function of the Tariff (Price) Council.
Trains from Baku are sent to Sumgait 11 times a day. Every day this train transports about 5,000 passengers. ----08D
