20 декабря 2017

The Belarusian railway company celebrates its 155th anniversary these days. Experts note that in recent years the trains of the national railway company have been modernized and the average speed has increased to 86 kilometers, and sometimes up to 120 kilometers per hour. This year, nearly 80 million passengers used the services of the railway.

Today, the railway also met its two-millionth passenger who bought a ticket online. Minsk citizen Ilya Kashpur was the owner of the lucky ticket on the route Minsk-Brest-Warsaw. The lucky passenger received a certificate that grants him one year of free services in the VIP lounge of the railway stations.

By the way, Belarusians buy every sixth railway ticket via the Internet.
