Ride on Tomsk's suburban bus routes has escalated in price.
Hey there! Let's talk about the latest changes in bus fares in Tomsk, shall we? It seems like the ride just got a bit pricier this May!

Additionally, the airport ride now costs 62 rubles (or 63 rubles with cash), an increase from its previous price.
Last year, we saw bus fare prices hike up on intra-city routes and the electric transport in May 2024. Apparently, this May 2025, Tomskautotrans has revised its fares yet again.
On their website, they explains, "We'd like to inform you that due to changes in city bus fares in Tomsk and the annual indexation, intercity bus fares have been updated since May 13, 2025. Fare details will be available in the 'Schedule and Fares for Intercity Routes' section."
The updated fares for various routes, such as the Seversk-Poslednevo journey on buses No. 442 and 443 will set you back 72 rubles with a card and 73 rubles with cash (68 and 69 rubles for pensioners respectively). The Tomsk-Seversk route will cost 63 rubles with a card and 64 rubles with cash (59 and 60 rubles for pensioners respectively). The previous fare for this route was 57 rubles.
The Tomsk-Severny Park ride will now cost 35 and 36 rubles (previously 32 rubles), the fare to Dzerzhinsky will cost 43 and 44 rubles (previously 43 rubles), and the trip to the village of Loskutovo will cost 48 and 49 rubles (previously 44 rubles).
You can find the fares for other routes on Tomskautotrans's website. Keep in mind that these changes are based on the current information available, so it's always a good idea to verify with official sources before your next ride!
The changes in city bus fares in Tomsk have affected not only intra-city routes but also intercity routes, as the updated fares for the Tomsk-Seversk route increased from 57 to 63 rubles. Additionally, the finance sector seems to play a role in these changes, as the revision in fares is likely influenced by changes in industry-wide financial policies.
