Company Profile
Establishing a unified network to link Russia's cities and regions
JSC FPC is crucial to maintaining nationwide transportation accessibility. Being the major railway passenger service operator, the Company connects major cities with isolated and challenging‑to‑reach locations. Long‑distance train routes cover all federal districts, providing convenient and reliable travel for millions of Russian citizens.
Making travel comfortable
The Company actively invests in rolling stock renewal, improves passenger service quality, introduces a new catering concept, launches additional southbound trains during the holiday season, and expands its route network.
Abridging distance
JSC FPC is actively developing multimodal transport service, combining rail services with air, bus and water routes. This makes it possible for people to travel conveniently to areas lacking rail services by using combined train and bus tickets. The launch of higher‑speed Sapsan, Lastochka and Strizh trains significantly reduces travel time between the country's largest cities and strengthens the transport connectivity of regions and their economic ties.
Advancing domestic tourism
JSC FPC is expanding its network of tourist routes to Russia's historical, natural and cultural wonders. Passengers find travelling convenient and reasonably priced thanks to modern carriages, first‑rate service, and tourism programs.
