Where and how to buy a bus ticket
Tickets are purchased exclusively in the bus cabin from the conductor. It can be distinguished by a uniform bright green vest with a logo bus fleet and a ticket bag at the belt. You can wait until the conductor comes to you himself, or you can find him among the passengers - immediately buy a ticket and calmly go to the designated point. Please note that you do not need to look for composters on the bus and punch a ticket - such devices have long disappeared from Everyday life urban transport of Pskov.
Don't forget about your luggage - if your bag or backpack is larger than 120x120x120 cm. in all respects, you will have to pay more 20 rubles. What the conductor will always remind you of. Luggage sizes over 180 cm.- it is prohibited to carry.
It is quite possible to travel in Pskov buses "with a hare" - but it is better not to do it. Payment is closely monitored by both the conductor and the inspectors. Free riders will face severe punishment in the form a fine of 500 rubles. At the same time, the paid fine does not relieve you of the obligation to pay the fare.
Conductors and inspectors in public transport in Pskov. Travel control
Quite often, passengers are checked by the control, which may unexpectedly appear at any stop in the form of a sweet and smiling woman who, despite the outward benevolence, does not tolerate any compromise with free riders. Passing through the bus, she will not loudly but sonorously call out: "Dear passengers, please prepare your tickets for control!"
As a rule, the controller enters exclusively through the first door, which the bus driver opens only for him.
Recall that for passengers on Pskov buses, the first door works only at the exit. No entry! Do not forget about this and try to jump into the first door at the moment the passengers exit, otherwise the driver has every right to close it in front of your nose, which is sometimes not safe.
But back to the control - ticket check usually lasts 5-10 minutes, depending on the number of passengers on the bus. Sometimes on especially "dense" routes there can be two controllers. Your main task is not to lose your ticket and present it on demand. Having ripped off the ticket from the edge, the controller will return it back to you. Repeated checks are extremely rare, and, nevertheless, be sure to keep your ticket until the end of the journey.
Most of the Pskov conductors are very calm and courteous people. By the way, they are always ready to provide the necessary information on the routes of movement of city buses, tell you which stop is more convenient to get off, where to change, and how to get to your destination.
If you want to be polite and courteous with the Pskov conductors, try to pay for the ride in bills of no more than 100 rubles. and pay the fare within one stop.
Some passengers, not without intent, pay with a large bill, for example, 500 and 1000 rubles. Often, especially in the morning, when the proceeds are small, and the required amount is not found for delivery, the conductor falls into a slight panic. Do not rejoice and do not hope that you managed to save 16 rubles in this way. A dispute with a conductor or controller may not be resolved in your favor, because you are still traveling without a ticket. In this case, you will have to pay a fine.
In most Pskov buses, all stops are announced in advance and automatically - in a well-placed, clear and intelligible voice. In cases of equipment breakdown, which is rare, the driver is engaged in this responsible work. And even if you are faced with the fact that stops are not announced at all, you can always clarify your stop and its name from the conductor.
Good manners
If you want to be polite, you should know that in Pskov, as elsewhere, it is customary to give way to the elderly, the disabled, passengers with children, and pregnant women.
Seats for passengers with children and disabled people are located at the beginning of the cabin - on the right side of the main entrance. As a rule, the place of the conductor is located here - which will always remind you of a plate lying on the seat or a piece of paper glued with adhesive tape with a very capacious inscription: "CONDUCTOR LOCATION! DO NOT TAKE!"
Pskov bus drivers
Highly qualified drivers work on the bus routes of Pskov, any recklessness on their part is excluded. Accidents caused by drivers are extremely rare. If the bus suddenly slows down, forcing you to lean forward sharply, do not rush to blame the driver for everything.
Talking to the bus driver in Pskov is prohibited. Although it is difficult to imagine a situation when you need it for some reason.
Often the driver is ready to wait for the passenger if he sees that he, exhausted, hurries to board. However, some drivers may not even notice you.
Safety in city buses of Pskov
It is extremely rare, but thefts do happen on buses. Please note: if, when boarding the bus, someone behind you is especially diligent in helping you squeeze into the cabin, it is possible that this is a pickpocket.It is not difficult to protect yourself from pickpockets, for this you need to remember to close your bag with a wallet and always keep it in front of you, and not squeeze it between the bodies of passengers, thereby tempting pickpockets into crime. And of course, never hide your wallet in the back pockets of your trousers.
