The subway ticket in St. Petersburg costs 20 rubles. There are trams in St. Petersburg. The tram ticket costs also 20 rubles. Today, I watched video about trams. In 60-ies tram ticket was cost 4 kopecks (1 ruble has 100 kopecks). Children lower one meter were going by tram free. The growth of the children measured in the tram:)
The bus ticket costs between 20 and 50.
