Travelling alone? A new pilot project on Russia’s long-distance trains may make the journey safer.
According to an online article recently published by Reuters many people traverse Russia by train rather than flying, and opt for four-bed compartments as a cheaper alternative for their journey.
The article reports that Russian Railways is now implementing a pilot program to improve the security and comfort of their customers. Travelers can now book tickets for male, female or mixed compartments. The program came about as a response to many requests -- mainly from female passengers, according to the operator quoted in the article.
The program is in place on eight long-distance trains so far, and if the initiative is successful will be implemented on a larger scale.
