You can pay for tickets to trains and Aeroexpress express buses using digital rubles

Sep 2, 2026

Aeroexpress has started accepting payment for train and express bus tickets in digital rubles. The new payment method is available on the website, in the mobile app, at ticket offices, in ticket‑printing machines, and when boarding a bus.

When purchasing a ticket on Aeroexpress’s online resources, you need to select “Pay via SBP” among the payment methods, then choose a banking app that has access to the digital ruble account, and confirm the payment using the “Digital Ruble” payment method. The ticket will be sent to your email.

When paying at the cash desks in the Aeroexpress terminals at railway stations and when boarding the bus, a QR code will appear on the cash terminal; the passenger must scan it with their phone using a banking app that has access to the digital ruble account, and confirm the payment using the “Digital Ruble” payment method.

Travelers can also pay for luggage storage and packing services using digital rubles at the company’s terminals.

All previously available payment methods for travel remain available. Passengers can use a bank card, a Troika transport card with an electronic wallet, the Fast Payment System, SberPay, Mir Pay, Yandex Pay, Gazprom Pay, biometrics at turnstiles in airports, or cash.
