Podorozhnik Card in St. Petersburg: fares and cost. Useful information
In the St. Petersburg metro, you can buy a token for 60 rubles and use the subway. In buses, trolleybuses, trams you can purchase a one-time ticket for 55 rubles. However, we are confident that it is much more profitable to use travel cards than to buy a token or a ticket every time.

What is Podorozhnik? It is a single travel card that looks like a plastic card. You can buy it at any box office, the price is 60 rubles.
How to refill the balance? There are several ways: through the cashier, through the Internet, through the application and through the machine selling tokens and tickets. We recommend using Podorozhnik as an electronic wallet - put as much money as you like and go for a ride. The more you use the transport, the cheaper is the cost of one trip. You can use this card everywhere, even in minibuses, if the driver has a special device - a validator.
If you plan to travel around the city for a whole month only by bus / trolleybus / tram, then there is a monthly ticket for a specific type of transport - a fixed fee is paid to Podorozhnik; the number of trips is not limited.
There are also combined options for the month - tram and bus; tram and trolleybus; trolleybus and bus; tram, trolleybus, bus - plenty of combinations.
