The real cost of a trip on public transport in Yekaterinburg has been named.
By the end of 2025, the actual cost of a trip on public transport nearly reached 73 rubles — this data was provided by the transport department in response to a request from 66.RU. This is significantly higher than the current tariff of 42 rubles — the difference is about 74%.
The main cost items are distributed as follows: more than half goes to the salaries of drivers and conductors (about 53%). Next are taxes (16.4%), electricity costs (approximately 10%), and vehicle maintenance (about 8%). General administrative expenses are also taken into account — employee meals, medical examinations, and dispatcher work (7.6%), as well as fuel and lubricants (up to 5%).
Since all these expense categories have risen in recent years, this has directly affected the final cost of a trip.
Recall that in November 2025, the fare was increased from 33 to 42 rubles.
