With the onset of summer holidays many parents and children go on train trips. Passenger Transportation JSC reminds about the rules for transporting children on the train.

Parents are allowed to transport one child under 7 years of age free of charge if they do not occupy a separate seat. To occupy a separate seat, you must purchase a child ticket. If a family is traveling with several children under 7 years of age, then one adult can carry only one child free of charge; children's tickets are purchased for the remaining children.

Children from 7 to 15 years old are allowed to travel with children's tickets. The cost of a child ticket is 50% of the cost of an adult ticket.
For children over 15 years old, an adult ticket is purchased. They can travel independently, but must have notarized written consent from their legal representative.

During the summer holidays, many parents send their children to summer camps by train. There are special rules for transporting organized groups of children under 15 years of age. The group must be accompanied by one adult for every 10 children and one health worker for the entire group. To accompany minor children, an adult passenger must have a notarized power of attorney from the parents. These measures are necessary to ensure the safety and comfort of young passengers during the trip.

The following rules apply for interstate transportation: children under 5 years old can travel free of charge without a seat; children from 5 to 10 years old travel at a child rate; Children from 10 to 15 years old within Kazakhstan pay 50% of the full ticket price, and in other countries - at the full fare.

If a child is traveling accompanied by his parents, then when purchasing a ticket and boarding the train, he must present the child’s birth certificate or passport. If the child is not accompanied by a legal representative, then when boarding the train it is necessary to provide notarized permission from both parents.

The national carrier also strongly recommends that you follow safety rules and supervise children so that they are always under adult supervision.
