Russia (bbabo.net), - From the capital of Mari El, you can now get to Nizhny Novgorod and St. Petersburg by train. Travel time to the Northern capital is 1 day and 12 hours. The route was launched on December 28. This happened after a press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which took place on December 23. During it, the journalist of "Mariyskaya Pravda" Anastasia Petrova asked the head of state to consider this possibility.

- This is a request from me personally. You can leave Yoshkar-Ola by train only to Moscow. But I really wanted to take the train to Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Vladimir. And then you have to use "Blah-blah-car", - said the woman.

“I’ll talk with Oleg Valentinovich (Belozerov, head of Russian Railways. - Author) today - tomorrow. I hope we will be able to do something,” the head of state said. And the very next day, ticket sales opened on the carrier's website. The train will leave Yoshkar-Ola at 23.50. In Arzamas, one compartment and two second-class carriages will be interconnected to another train, following from Samara to the Northern capital.

The route includes stops in Nizhny, Ivanovo, Yaroslavl, Rybinsk

Trains from the capital of Mari El will run every other day. The route includes stops in Nizhny Novgorod, Ivanovo, Yaroslavl, Rybinsk and other settlements. True, for those who want to get to Nizhny Novgorod, the pleasure is rather dubious. If the road by car or bus takes on average 4-6 hours, then the train will have to travel 14 and a half hours. And it costs twice as much ...

- We have an airport in Yoshkar-Ola, from where you can fly to different cities of Russia, the official opening of the new bus station building will take place in January, but it seemed to me that the expansion of the railway connection is very important for the residents of the republic. For example, the same families with children are not very comfortable traveling on buses, someone has aerophobia, and the possibility of traveling by train has not been disclosed, - Anastasia Petrova admitted to the correspondent.
