Punishment for travel on someone else's social card. Controllers will be able to block "foreign" social cards. What benefits are provided to pensioners for travel in public transport

On September 28, a press conference was held at the Office of the Metropolitan Metro, at which they discussed “hares” in the metro, talked about how they are caught and punished.

Catch "hares", as it turned out, often, and, basically, these are students or pseudo-students aged 23 to 30 years. They send applications through the institutes for preferential travel on the subway, receive cards and travel for months until they are stopped at the turnstiles by the police and asked to show the “social program”. If it turns out that a person is not the owner of such a card, then a long story awaits him.

If caught for the first time - a fine of 1000 rubles, for the second time - the travel card is taken away, blocked. If an account was opened on the card, then the card will be sent to the social security authorities. During the first half of the year, the metro police caught and fined more than a hundred “hares” for an administrative violation.

By the way, every person in the subway is being monitored. The place, time and way where the citizen goes is determined. Then this information is compared with his personal data and it is determined whose card this may be. For example, can an 83-year-old pensioner take the subway more than 50 times in one week, or is it her grandson who works as a courier. Through cameras and information about the movements, the police will find this grandson. If it turns out that he is guilty, then the grandmother faces a fine of 2,500 to 10,000 rubles. The grandson is waiting for another punishment: if he caused damage to the subway for 1000 rubles or more, then he will be tried under Article 165 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

This year, ten, mostly "fake" students of the Moscow State University, have already been convicted. All of them are Muscovites, and wealthy citizens. “Usually these are students of commercial universities, either working for the first or second year, or they are couriers. This is to save money, - said the senior police investigator of the 8th police department of the metro Osipov Sergey Vladimirovich. “There was even a case when a person ran over 25,000 trips in one month.”

For example, on August 1, Oksana Sergeevna Mazikina, a fictitious student of Moscow State University, was sentenced. From April 1 to May 30, she hit the subway 661 times on the “left” student social card. She was caught at the Otradnoye station, convicted and forced to pay damages: 12,691 rubles to the subway and another 5,000 to the state.

“When a person is brought to justice, he will not only not continue to do this, it will be an imprint for his whole life. Moreover, he will warn the rest of his relatives who do the same,” said Nadiya Alievna Morkhanova, legal adviser of the legal department of the Moscow metro.

They usually check during peak hours from 7 to 11, every day, but not at all metro stations. True, this will be fixed in the near future and all stations will be checked, albeit within a certain period of time.

Now they will find out which card a person has passed - social or ordinary - by the light indicator on the turnstile. When a person with a “social program” passes, the lights on the turnstile light up. At each metro station, certain colors should light up, and at some stations, all at once. Soon, in addition to the "light" system, they will also use another one, but they did not tell which one.

Moskvich social card - how to drive safely on it when meeting with controllers.

Who often travels to public transport Moscow (GUP Mosgortrans and GUP Moscow Metro), certainly knows that one of the ways to competently “bend” a blunt turnstile and get into the salon / station is to pass on a social card, quite often not one’s own. For example, it could be your grandmother's or another relative's SCM. I do not urge anyone to ride like that, but I do not dissuade. I don't give a damn how other passengers pay or don't pay fares. A large number of Former hares who paid fares this month will in no way reduce the cost of buying me a travel card for the next month. Hares do not affect the level of travel of the rest. This is your business. In this topic, I want to raise a question on such a problem as the withdrawal of these cards by controllers. For far from all cases of finding someone else's social card in your pocket, and even an obvious passage through it, controllers can seize it and impose a higher fine (2500r instead of 1000r).

Let's see. By job description the passenger transport controller can clearly see in what situation he can withdraw the card:
The controller is obliged: 3.14. Take from passengers presenting to the controller during the check on the correctness of fare payment, non-legitimate (fake) travel documents, including illegally used social cards of Muscovites (SCM), or social cards of residents of the Moscow Region, as well as student travel cards that do not belong to the persons who presented them for confirmation fact of fare payment.
It is clearly seen that the reason (right) for withdrawal can be one single situation:
The controller asks what the passenger has for the fare, and he himself takes it out and shows it as his ticket for the fare ... Well, EVERYTHING! All other withdrawal options are illegal!
If your card was withdrawn from you in any other situation, then you are just a stupid person and do not know your rights (I call such Vegetables). This means that you should never, under any circumstances, take a card out of your pocket, no matter how the controller requires it, no matter what the threat, etc. Practice has shown that they will do almost anything to take away your relative's card, which you yourself can easily return. And as soon as you take out this card (present, it means) - that's it, the controller already has the right to withdraw. If you do not want your grandmother to have to run a lot on social security and spend nerves on restoring this card, you need to at least study your rights a little and take precautions if you are not using your social card. In many ways I will try to help you with this, but a lot will depend on you.

In what situations does the controller NOT have the right to confiscate someone else's social card?

The only situation in which he has the right to do so has already been sorted out. Now I give examples of the most frequent situations when they are not entitled to seize, but often try to do it. For your general literacy, my beloved passengers, whose rights I consider it my duty to protect for nothing. If you want to help, then you don’t have to thank me, but teach this knowledge to other passengers, because my goal is to make all passengers literate so that they can protect themselves from the arbitrariness of controllers and drivers. Which in the future will lead to friendly protection of each other in cases of attempted divorce by the controllers. After that, the fare payment system with filthy turnstiles and an inconvenient entrance through one door + bandits controllers will become flawed and die. Which in the future will lead to a change in fares to more convenient for passengers. Most likely it will be either an example of Tallinn (free travel with the introduction transport tax with equal opportunities), or the return of conductors. When you just sat down, and already during the movement they approached you and flew around (or showed you a travel card), and do not stand like a slave in line at the entrance to one door through the turnstile, which has not held back hares for a long time. Just do not confuse 2 different problems. When the conductor pushes and annoys everyone, the problem is not in him. The problem is that there is too little transport on the line, and there is an overabundance of passengers. Under normal workload, the conductor will not interfere with anyone. And in case of refusal to pay and get out, he can call the police (as well as the controller, without the right to delay the bus or push him out by force). Such is the paradox, the more rabbits there are now (with an inconvenient fare system), the better and more comfortable the journey will be in the future, and not vice versa. The more they pay for travel now, the faster the old comfortable rolling stock (Ikaruses, comfortable various trolleybuses) changes to a new low-floor stuffy shit, with much fewer seats and standing places. Okay, I digress a little. In what situations the controller does NOT have the right to confiscate someone else's social card:
1) When a passenger presents his social card, not even charged in fact. Not someone else's cards, they have no right to withdraw under any circumstances absolutely.
-But, sometimes, they try to withdraw even in such situations.

2) When a passenger travels on someone else's card, but to the question of the controller "What is your fare" he answers "Nothing, I'm a hare." Even if the controller saw how this person passed on some kind of ticket, and did not crawl under the turnstile.
- The contents of the controller's pockets are not affected. The controller has the right to withdraw someone else's social card only in case of presentation. Everything, on this point. But, in such situations, they often try to threaten that it would be better to give the card. They can use force, do not release (directly grab with their hands, force the driver not to open the doors) and other violations.
3) When a passenger passes through a social card with the controller, without having time to remove it, and he snatches it without asking.
- First, the controller should politely ask to show that the passenger has a fare. Present your ID if the passenger wants it, etc., and not immediately snatch tickets.
4) When a passenger says that there is no ticket, and the controller, without the consent of the passenger (which is also a violation), checks his pockets and bags with some kind of scanner that can show the presence of a social card in his pocket (which is proof of the presence of a social card, and not that that she is a stranger). After that, he begins to demand that she be returned, again using intimidation or force.
The use of other people's SCM by passengers is the result of shortcomings in the turnstile fare collection system. Another argument in favor of the fact that it is time to remove the turnstiles. There will be no turnstiles - there will be no those who use other people's cards. But, even if a passenger travels on someone else's card (commits an administrative offense), this does not give any right to commit controllers more serious violations against him by the controller!

How to REDUCE the likelihood of SCM withdrawal? Knowing this does not guarantee 100% success, but it will greatly help any passenger.

I NUANCE.
The passenger should better understand the rules for using public transport. Especially in the duties of a passenger, which he is. Here is an important point for us:
6. 2. The passenger is obliged:
6.2.4. Present for check ALL TYPES travel tickets, as well as documents for the right to travel free of charge or for partial payment of travel to the controller, conductor or other persons authorized to exercise control over the payment of travel and compliance with these Rules.

- And the term "present" according to Ozhegov's dictionary means: TO SHOW in confirmation of something. So, speaking in Russian, the passenger is obliged to SHOW the ticket to the controller, and that's it. And the phrase "ALL TYPES of travel tickets" - removes any questions regarding contactless types of tickets (smart cards, troikas, not other people's social cards, etc.). So, no one is obliged to give anything to the controller! And accusing the controller of stowaways in this case is not legitimate! Because LEGAL duty to SHOW the ticket - you have fulfilled. And you have no obligation to give a ticket in your hands. And according to the Code of Administrative Offenses (Article 1.5. Presumption of innocence):
1. A person shall be subject to administrative liability only for those administrative offenses in respect of which his guilt has been established.
4. Irremovable doubts about the guilt of a person brought to administrative responsibility shall be interpreted in favor of this person.

- and since ALL TYPES, then magnetic tickets, social cards - too. So, by showing the ticket from your hands, you fully fulfill your obligations to the controller. And his further doubts prove nothing. It is in the SDA that the driver of the car is obliged to hand over the documents for the car to the traffic police officer, and the passenger is obliged to present the ticket to the controller ... 2 different words, 2 different meanings, 2 different rules, 2 different duties.
- You should always use this nuance when traveling on any type of ticket, not only on the SCM. And, in particular, in questions about social cards - when honestly using your social card, or when using your own, but not charged card. So that the controller does not steal it from you, and to set an example for others.
II NUANCE.
Here is an explanation of why, in fact, the controller does not have the right to confiscate the card if you go through it with him, and tell him that you do not have a ticket. And when his scanner shows the presence of the card in your pocket. Yes, it's clear that you need to be careful and not go through someone else's social card with the controller. But situations are different. Anyone can make a mistake and not notice them.
It is worth starting with the fact that the phrase on the part of the controller “I saw how you passed something, let's get it here” is just a subjective opinion. Which absolutely does not prove that the card does not belong to the one who passed through it, even if this passenger refuses to present it for strange reasons, recognizing stowaways. Secondly, the contents of the pockets absolutely do not concern any controllers, it is none of their damn business what the passenger has in his pocket. If the passenger says that he does not have a ticket, the controller has the right only to ask for a passport to issue a fine of 1000 rubles for ticketless travel, which the passenger admits ( and then, the passenger is not required to present this passport and has the right to leave freely, incl. – with the use of force, if the controller is the first to use force and try to hold. But, you can read about this in my other posts or in the Vokntakte group dedicated to the problems of arbitrariness of controllers: https://vk.com/bespredelanet. There is only everything you need regarding social cards). But, the passenger is not obliged to show the contents of the pockets to the controller. From which there is a small conclusion that the controller is not able to establish that the passenger does not have his social card, even despite the fact that, allegedly, if he has a ticket, the passenger is recognized as having traveled without a ticket. Paradox, but such is Russia. Nothing objective, not contrary to the law - the controller can not oppose or do in this situation.
Further, when you, a person who understands your rights, refuse to show the contents of your pockets to the controller, he may be followed by different types blackmail or threats.
1) For example, they can check against a validator and record the details of a card that has recently been passed. And, after that, they will begin to threaten that they will block it if you do not give it back. Which, again, has no objective evidence that the card is someone else's. Numbers and figures. Where is the confirmation that the card is someone else's? This proves only the passage on some card, but does not prove that it is someone else's, and that it is she who is in your pocket. And, if they dare to block, then the owner can safely sue that his card was blocked when he was driving on it. But, 99.9%, that this is a scam, a means of intimidation, so that you would give the card yourself, thereby creating a situation in which the controller will already have the right to withdraw. Yes, and if everything was so simple, the cards would be blocked and that's it. But, this is not an option. Yes, and acquaintances said that they were so threatened, and then nothing happened. So don't fall for it. Similarly, data from the portable scanner of the controller, which he may unlawfully put on you.
2) Any other types of intimidation, in the style of “We will now call (go) to the police, and there the card will be confiscated anyway. So don't waste your time, give it away now." They can also spin something about a higher fine if it comes to the police. In general, these creatures will take advantage of any illiteracy on the part of the passenger, just to intimidate him and fulfill the norm. Only here is the most important thing - controllers miss. They have the right to call the police, but not to hold until she arrives. Those. They called - you rightfully left. Controllers are not the police or other security forces, and have no right to be held by force.
If attempts to intimidate you do not work, and you start to leave, then, most likely, the controllers will commit even more serious violations. They will try to keep you by force. This is either an illegal inducement to the violation and the driver, forcing him not to open the door to the exit. Either blocking the exit of your fat carcass, or direct use of force, grabbing with your hands (both in the cabin and at the bus stop). All this is illegal. The controller does not have the right to hold by force, the driver is obliged to open all the exit doors at stops, the passenger has the right to freely go free at any stop, and is not obliged to remain with the controllers. Including, if required, the passenger has the right to use force in an adequate amount, if necessary, in accordance with Article 14 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Self-Defense civil rights). For example, if the driver does not let you out, you have the right to press the door by force and leave. Does not allow the controller to pass - you have the right to move him, grabs him with your hands (directly applies force) - you have the right to respond with force (push, hit on the hands), and even with the use of improvised means in an adequate amount, if a verbal warning that the controller does not have the right to do this - it does not work. Those. you can stick a pen or keys into your hand, and use peppercorns (but not in the cabin if there are other passengers), etc. Only here the whole trouble is that such controllers allow themselves precisely against someone who physically cannot really defend himself. In this connection, for example, students are recommended to travel together from the institute to the metro, which will equalize the chances at least somewhere.
III NUANCE.
The use of portable scanners by controllers without the consent of passengers is illegal. But when the controllers have a numerical superiority, and there is only one passenger (more often a girl), they can scan these pockets with the use of force. Unpleasant - yes. But, in addition to your right to shove this scanner up their ass (figuratively speaking), you can use additional device so that this scanner does not detect the card in your pocket. This is useful if you are not particularly physically strong, and do not have the ability to legally prevent controllers from illegally scanning your pockets, and it simply will not be superfluous for any person. This tool is a cover for a social card made of foil. This idea was submitted by lovers of physics. According to them, such a cover will create shielding of the card, which will make it impossible to detect it by the scanner of the controller. They say that one layer of foil is enough, but 2-3 is better for reliability. On the one hand, leaving the opportunity to get it. Or just from foil, or wrap it on top with tape for strength. Well, or wrap a standard case with foil. You will have to get the card very often, it is better not to save on the reliability and durability of the cover. Because in order to get into the salon, you will have to take the card out of the case every time, and the shielding due to the foil will not allow the validator to see the card either. In fact, the scanner of the controller acts in the same way as the validator at the turnstile, only several times weaker. As a result, you can check if there is enough foil - on the validator itself. And, if the validator does not see the card, then the scanner of the controller will not see it all the more.
The cover should be used by everyone who does not use their social card. How additional a precaution, so to speak. But, it is especially recommended to use it for all, not too physically strong passengers who ride, most often alone. Those. to all those who cannot legally stop the illegal detention by the controller by force. You won’t be able to leave by right when you want, this creature will only laugh angrily at your voicing that the controller has no right to hold you by force, and will shove its scanner into your pockets. And, if a card is found in your pocket, then his impudence will be even stronger. All the same, it will not stop illegally holding you until you give back the card, and a larger fine will be issued (2500r, instead of 1000r). And if the card is in a case, the controller's cattle will break off. The cover will not make excess weight. But as a precautionary measure - it does not hurt. Eat a couple of chocolate bars and reduce the fulfillment of the norm for the withdrawal of cards to arrogant controllers.

Can another family member use a social card to travel in public transport

I used my husband’s social card to travel on bus 206. On that day, 3 children fell ill immediately, after the pediatrician arrived, I ran to the pharmacy, the nearest one at the 1st stop from home. My husband stayed at home with the children. Social card large family issued to him. I presented my passport to the controllers, they saw data on children, on a registered marriage with the owner of the card (we have different surnames). Can I challenge the fine of 2500 rubles for using someone else's social card? actions, because the card gives a benefit to one of the parents of a large family. I would like to ask that the names of both parents be indicated on the social card, but only one could travel for free at the same time.

YurClub Conference

if my parents at one time earned an apartment in which I can legally live, if they earned a car in which I can move freely, then why can't I use the same purely material right of free travel earned by them?

What benefits are provided to pensioners for travel in public transport

According to the Social Code of St. Petersburg, this preference is granted for all types of city transport, except for commercial. If a pensioner is a Hero of Russia or the Soviet Union, a home front worker, or a veteran of the Second World War, a resident of besieged Leningrad, who lives in the northern capital, then he has the right to buy tickets at a discount on suburban trains from May to December.

The government of the Moscow region explained how beneficiaries can use the right to free travel in public transport in Moscow

Earlier, we reported that the Moscow Regional Duma approved a law according to which 20 privileged categories of citizens received the right to free travel in Moscow. For these purposes, 1.3 billion rubles will be allocated from the regional budget. More than 850,000 residents of the Moscow region will be able to use public transport for free in Moscow.

Benefits for pensioners on public transport

To separate category northerners are. Such pensioners can receive monetary compensation twice a year for travel to a place of rest in the Russian Federation by land, rail, air, sea / river transport. Only the cheapest tickets are compensated: seats on buses, reserved seats, cabins of categories 3-5, economy class seats. Compensation is negotiated separately if only comfortable seats are provided in the transport. At the same time, the beneficiary must officially receive deductions from the PF and not work. You can also refuse the privilege and receive material compensation.

Reduced travel pass for schoolchildren

Of course, such a benefit is also in demand in small towns, when there are a small number of educational institutions in the village, and the child lives far from school. In most cases, there is no metro travel in these situations, but schoolchildren can use buses.

YurClub Conference

The situation is well known to everyone - many of our fellow citizens travel in Moscow (and, probably, not only) transport using social cards for their mothers, fathers, mothers-in-law, father-in-law, etc. I know that there are decrees, I know that the cards are personalized. But this is the question that worries me - if my parents at one time earned an apartment in which I can legally live, if they earned a car on which I can move freely, then why can’t I use the same purely material right they earned for free directions? After all, preferential travel is an exclusively earned right, why can't children use it? Why the card cannot be used when the pensioner himself does not use it? On what basis? What difference does it make who rides it? After all, we are not talking about the passage of 2-3 people on the map at the same time.

In March, the capital's controllers fined more than 30,000 "hares" on public transport. The fine for ticketless travel in the capital is 1,000 rubles, another 2.5 thousand Muscovites pay for using someone else's social card. "Hares" who have accumulated debts in fines of more than 10 thousand rubles can be included in the list of citizens who are prohibited from traveling abroad.

Electronic payment methods

The fine can be paid on the city portal of public services. To do this, you must specify the unique identification number (UIN) of the decision on the offense, its series and number, as well as the date of issue. After verifying the data, the portal will offer you to choose one of four payment methods: bank card, using an electronic wallet Yandex.Money, Qiwi or Webmoney, from an account mobile phone or through the Internet banking of Sberbank, Bank of Moscow and Alfa-Bank.

In addition, you can remotely pay off the debt by decree using mobile application"Sberbank Online". To do this, you need to install the program on your smartphone, select the "Payments" tab, the "Taxes, fines, traffic police" section. After that, in the proposed list of organizations, you need to indicate the GKU "Organizer of Transportation", enter the UIN and pay using the Internet bank.

Payment using ATMs and payment terminals of Sberbank

"To pay through the terminal, violators will only need a receipt issued by the Transportation Organizer, in which without fail UIN is present," Andrey Stepanov, manager for working with key partners of the department for the development of payment services, management of Bank XXI of the Moscow Bank of Sberbank of Russia, Andrey Stepanov, said. You can pay the fine in cash or by card. When paying in cash, the payer needs to press the button "Payments" " and select the section "Taxes, fines, duties", select the organization "Organizer of transportation". Next, the payer will be asked to enter the UIN and pay the amount. When paying by bank transfer, it is enough to immediately select the section "traffic police, taxes, duties, budget payments".

When paying through the terminal, a commission is charged. If the fine is paid in cash, it will be 1.25% of the amount, minimum - 10 rubles, maximum - 1000 rubles. When paying by card, 1% is charged, there is no minimum commission threshold, the maximum is 500 rubles.

You can also pay off your debts on fines using ATMs in the subway. "Such ATMs have an individual menu, especially for paying fines. The first thing the payer sees on the screen is the button fines on transport. By clicking on it, the payer selects the Transport Organizer section, enters an identification number and pays," Andrey Stepanov said.

Payment of a fine at a bank branch

To pay off the fine debt at the bank, you need to bring a copy of the decision on an administrative offense or a receipt for payment. They contain the details required for payment. After paying off the debt, the specialist must give the client a bank receipt confirming the payment of the fine. It is best to keep this document in case of disputes.

What happens if you don't pay the fine on time?

Residents of the capital are given ten days to appeal the fine and another 60 days to pay it. If the “hare” does not pay the required amount, then a new one will be added to the already issued resolution, imposing a double fine on the violator. Thus, if a resident of the capital used someone else's social card and did not pay a fine for 70 days, then his debt will no longer be 2.5 but 7.5 thousand rubles, for ticketless travel- 3 thousand rubles.

To be on the list of people banned from traveling abroad, a resident of the capital must "accumulate" fines for more than 10 thousand rubles. Accordingly, the stowaway must delay payment of four or more fines for stowaways or two for the misuse of concession cards.

The Moscow City Duma approved in the first reading an amendment to the Moscow Code on administrative offenses(Code of Administrative Offenses), according to which the responsibility for the illegal use of someone else's social card (SCM) when traveling by public transport is toughened. For such a violation, it is proposed to impose a fine of up to 2.5 thousand rubles. Now it is 1 thousand rubles.

The deputies argued the need for the amendment by the fact that beneficiaries often give their social cards to relatives who illegally use free metro travel and land transport. In the subway alone, as a result of regular raids, an average of 150 foreign social cards are confiscated every month. In such cases, the “hare” is fined, and the preferential document itself, together with a protocol on seizure, is sent to the Moscow Social Register. There it is registered and sent to the district department of social protection - at the place of residence of the card holder. The biggest trouble that awaits him is a conversation with a social worker. He will remind you of the memo, which says that the transfer of a preferential document to unauthorized citizens is prohibited.

But in the Moscow region they are being tougher: the owner of a social card who has transferred it to a relative or an outsider for use in transport will be deprived of a preferential document. Whether to issue it again is decided by a special commission.

According to the head of the department of transport and development of road infrastructure Maxim Liksutov, so far the passage on someone else's card has been qualified as a ticketless journey, a fine for which is 1,000 rubles. Meanwhile, according to the official, this offense is more serious than ticketless travel, since the city compensates carriers for each such preferential travel. From January to September, about 37,000 foreign social cards issued in Moscow and the region were confiscated in the metropolitan subway, and there were cases when 4-5 trips per rush hour were made on a travel card belonging to a WWII veteran.

In order to make it easier to catch those who like to ride at someone else's expense, it is planned to connect color signaling in the turnstiles. It was originally mounted on the turnstiles, but does not work yet. Relatively speaking, when using preferential card a light of a certain color will light up.

In the future, it is planned that a similar fine will be applied when using other people's social cards and on ground passenger transport.

By the way, 45 percent of passengers use the metro at the expense of the budget, and only 55 percent pay the fare themselves. In land transport, the share of beneficiaries is even higher - 55 percent. According to deputy Stepan Orlov, the law can be finalized and adopted in the remaining two readings by the end of October.
