Over 52,000 fans and journalists accredited by FIFA have used free transport between the 2018 FIFA World Cup host cities within the last week, Russian Ministry of Transport’s press service was quoted by TASS news agency as saying on Monday.

However, in the past week, many passengers did not return their tickets and did not use their free ride two and more times. The Transport Directorate of FIFA World Cup Russia-2018 will cancel further bookings made by these passengers due to a high demand for free trains, the message informs.

In order to travel for free between the 2018 FIFA World Cup host cities, it is necessary to have a match ticket and a Fan ID, as well as to register on the aforementioned website, introducing the ticket number. After the registration is complete, the passenger receives a message with his boarding ticket at the email address used to register.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup will take place at 12 stadiums in 11 Russian cities.
