"Over the past two years, prices for travel took off a few times, and the quality of service has only worsened! Many bridges, crossings and platforms are a danger to life and health.Schedule of EMUs often does not correspond to their actual arrival, and we see every day a new list of cancellations. Turnstiles at the Leningrad station break every day, creating a stampede and queues. Monitors, obstructing passage on a platform at some stations, force us to face danger, jumping across the tracks to get to school and work.Because it is often impossible to buy a ticket because of long queues and a half of idle cash registers. But after the appointment of trains "Peregrine" the situation has worsened in many times! In small towns ambulances "can not get to patients because of the 30-minute overlap railways, separating the city into halves. Train with a simple working people stand for half an hour between stations, passing trains elite peregrine, bringing huge profits Railways - the organizers of the invitation to the meeting.

It's no secret that this policy Railways towards other passengers had already led to the population of Tver and Leningrad regions, through which the route passes "Sapsan, announced an elite train real guerrilla war, pelting it with stones and podkladyvaya in the way of foreign objects.

Organizers of the rally urged disaffected to go another way."We urge fair disaffected suburban Moscow to solve problems not by vandalism (stoning" Sapsan "etc.), but by the expression of direct democracy!" - Says the invitation to the meeting.

Residents of this town in the far suburbs, complain permanent cancellations of already rare EMUs on Elektrogorsk branch of the main branch, especially in the mornings, when people go to work in the capital. Also, residents Elektrogorsk unhappy that the latest electric in Elektrogorsk away from Moscow in 20 hours, which significantly limits the choice of jobs in the capital.In addition, no delights passengers Kursk directions and information about the intention to put on it "Peregrine".

JSC "RZD" decided that EMU at the branch on which there are over 2000 villa plots, are unprofitable.As a result, cottagers, many of them - pensioners, have to go to their site about 3 kilometers from the railway tracks on which freight trains are regularly held.

Other participants in the meeting and prepare now appeal to the FAS about the repeal of electric trains: passengers believe that the JSC "RZD" abusing its monopoly position.

A resident near Moscow Pushkin passenger Yaroslavl direction, lamented the fact that now train to his home town is half an hour longer than in Soviet times.This fact explains the need to pass "Peregrine".

Management of JSC RZD originally responded to the news of the planned rally passengers: Last Friday the company's website announcement appeared that at the time at which lodged a rally in the same park will be a chess tournament. Indeed, the music accompanying the event, sometimes muffled megaphone protesters. Also, representatives of the JSC "RZD" spread among the journalists covering the rally leaflet, which stated that the problems of passenger electric trains to blame "rabbits" and the authorities of cities and regions outside Moscow, regulating prices for travel in suburban trains.

Participants of the meeting, read the leaflet, wondered why such a large company has a monopoly can not negotiate with local authorities, and why she prefers to raise ticket prices, rather than save, for example, European-quality repair of the central office or the salary guide and his official vehicle.In theirx krichalkami protesters expressed their desire to transplant the leaders of JSC "RZD" of expensive cars in the train near Moscow.
