Fares in Yekaterinburg increased by a record 9 rubles.
From November 1, 2025, the fare for public transport in Yekaterinburg increased from 33 to 42 rubles. The new rates apply to all modes of municipal transport — buses, trams and trolleybuses.
The increase is linked to rising costs for servicing rolling stock, fuel and drivers' wages, the city mayor's office said. The fare was last reviewed several years ago.
According to representatives of the city's transport department, part of the funds obtained from the fare increase is planned to be used to renew the vehicle fleet and improve conditions for passengers.
City residents are already actively discussing the change on social media: some consider the increase inevitable due to rising prices for everything, others are confident that the quality of transport services must noticeably improve to justify the new rates.
Until December 31, a 9-ruble discount applies to payments by QR code (the fare will cost you 33 rubles).
At the same time, the mayor's office emphasized that monthly passes have become significantly cheaper and, according to their data, are now among the cheapest in the country.
