On September 1, 2017, Avtodor and SZKK transponders finally began to operate on all toll sections of the M4-Don, M11 Moscow-St. Petersburg and M3-Ukraine highways. And from November 1, the WHSD will also join the “Unified Transponder” program. But do everyone have the same conditions and tariffs? Whose transponder is more profitable? Will transponders truly become “universal” for all toll roads in Russia? Let's try to figure it out.

At the end of August 2017, representatives of Avtodor (operator of all toll sections M4-Don and M3-Ukraine, as well as the M11 section bypassing Vyshny Volochyok) and the North-Western Concession Company (SZKK, Operator of the section 18-58 km from Moscow to Solnechnogorsk of the M11 highway ) announced that from September the transponders of both companies will work on all toll sections of the above routes. And in October, news appeared that Western High-Speed ​​Diameter JSC was also joining this program with transpodners for the WHSD.

It would seem that dreams of a “universal transponder” are beginning to come true. But is this really so? Will transponder owners from each company receive the same price preferences? Will there be “other people’s” loyalty programs (“passes” on the M11 Solnechnogorsk-Moscow section and an additional discount for “bonuses” on the M4 highway)?

Are transponders really universal now?

If you carefully read the press releases of the companies (this can also be done, as well as the recent news about joining the WHSD program), then optimism fades a little... Yes, purely “technically” non-stop travel transponders of both companies, like, must be provided on all sections of the M4, M11 and M3 highways. In principle, it’s already something, but:

• About the operation of Avtodor, SZKK and WHSD transponders ontoll bypass of Odintsovo on the M1-Belarus highway companies don't mention it. If you read the news in the press on this matter, it becomes obvious that while “universal” transponders will not work on the section bypassing Odintsovo. Negotiations seem to be underway, and they even promise to resolve this issue by the end of 2017, but so far these are just words.

Please also note that for the transponder from SZKK and WHSD to work on M3 and M4, no additional actions are required, but for the Avtodor transponder to work on M11 in the Moscow region and WHSD, you need to activate the “Interoperability” service in your personal account on the Avtodor website or in mobile application.

What about the tariffs?

Concerning tariffs, discounts and loyalty programs, then things are even worse here. So, SZKK promises the owners of “its” transponders, I quote:

“The discount for users with transponders “M-11 Moscow – Solnechnogorsk” on toll roads M-3, M-4 and M-11 (Vyshny Volochek) will be 20% of the fares for travel in cash“

For travel along the Western High-Speed ​​Diameter (WHSD) in St. Petersburg, with Avtodor and SZKK transponders will be valid from November 1, 2017 15% discount.

Just look at the tariffs on the official websites of Avtodor (link), and the WHSD (link) immediately becomes clear that for now, it remains much more profitable to drive on the M4 and WHSD with a “native” transponder – Avtodor gives a discount of 30% to 50% on a “native” transponder on some sections of the M4, versus only 20% for a transponder from SZKK and WHSD, and on a WHSD with a native transponder a 46% discount versus 15% with “foreign” transponders.

How are things going for travel along the 15-58 km section of the M11 highway with transponders from Avtodor and WHSD? According to information from the SZKK website, the situation is even worse:

“Discounts are not provided for third-party transponders.” ()”

That is, there are no discounts for travel along the M11 section from Moscow to Solnechnogorsk with a transponder from Avtodor and WHSD - the fare is the same as for cash... Great, right? Thus, the North-Western Concession Company once again confirmed its miserliness, I can’t call it any other way..

Below I provide a comparative table of discounts on transponders on different roads (WHSD will be added as news becomes available):

Comparison of discounts for transponders

Toll road	Day Tariff without transponder	Savings with Avtodor transponder	Savings with SZKK transponder	Savings with WHSD transponder
M4 (all sections)	840 rub.	243 rub. (29%)	168 rub. (20%)	168 rub. (20%)
M11 (Moscow-Solnechnogorsk)	450-500 rub.	No	90-100 rub (20%)	No
M11 (bypass of Vyshny Volochok)	220 rub.	110 rub. (50%)	44 RUR (20%)	44 RUR (20%)
M3 (in Kaluga region)	90 rub.	18 rub. (20%)	18 rub. (20%)	18 rub. (20%)
WHSD (All sections)	500 rub.	75 RUR (15%)	75 RUR (15%)	230 rub (46%)*

Will loyalty programs work with someone else's transponder?

Considering the above regarding tariffs and discounts, it is at least naive to hope that any loyalty programs will work on “foreign” roads at this stage.

That is, it will not be possible to connect either a “subscription” for the M11 Moscow-Solnechnogorsk section for the Avtodor transponder, or the use of “bonuses” for an additional discount (especially since there is no discount at all in this case).

So whose transponder is more profitable?

Apparently, it will not be possible to call the conditions for “foreign” transponders equivalent, nor to determine one “most profitable” transponder for any route. It all depends greatly on which sections of toll roads you use most often, or what travel route you will be traveling in the near future. Here are some examples:

1. If at that moment “foreign” transponders were already working according to the announced conditions, then for all toll sections of the M4-Don highway we would save(during the daytime, we don’t travel at night): 393 rubles one way, or 786 rubles round trip with the “native” Avtodor transponder(almost 40% of the cash rate) , A with transponder from SZKK– only 20% savings, or 198 rubles one way / 396 rubles round trip.
2. For those traveling south from St. Petersburg and covers both M11 toll sections + all M4 toll plazas, savings with Avtodor transponder increases by 110 rubles one way / 220 rubles both ways (only for the M11 section bypassing Vyshny Volochok, no savings are added on the M11 in the Moscow region), that is, it will be 503 and 1006 rubles accordingly. But with Transponder from SZKK for this one-way route, the savings will be 198 rubles (M4) + 90-110 rubles (depending on the day and time of day when traveling M11 from Moscow to Solnechnogorsk) + 44 rubles (M11 bypassing Vyshny Volochyok): total maximum 352 rubles one way or 702 rubles round trip.
3. For everyday trips along the M11 section between Moscow and Solnechnogorsk (for example, to work or to the dacha), it is obvious that the transponder from Avtodor is not an option, since it does not give any discounts on this section (at least not yet).

It is also worth considering the conditions for purchasing the transponder itself. So, you can buy a transponder from Avtodor for 1000 rubles (+500 rubles must be deposited into your account), or rent it for 100 rubles per month (starting from the 11th month of the lease, the transponder will become your property and rental payments will stop). With SZKK, the transponder itself doesn’t seem to cost anything, but you have to pay a “subscription fee” in the amount of 50 rubles for each month in which trips are made, and this subscription fee is unlimited. Plus, if you lose/break the SZKK transponder, you will have to pay 1000 rubles to replace it with a new one.

Considering the above, the conclusion suggests itself: indeed a universal or most profitable transponder for Russia today still does not exist. The choice of transponder depends on your route or the frequency of use of specific road sections. The only thing that can be said is that for traveling south on the M4, the greatest savings will come from the transponder from Avtodor, even if you have to drive along the M11 section from Moscow to Solnechnogorsk (15-58 km).

For now, I think, I will continue to use different transponders in different areas. Because the announced conditions are fake, and not a single transponder...

Should we hope for improvements in the future?

In principle, the topic of a Unified Transponder for all toll roads in Russia, although not as quickly as we would like, is still developing. It remains to “connect” the M1 section bypassing Odintsovo to the “universal transponder” program, so that purely technically it can be said that any transponder now works on any toll section.

As for tariffs and discounts, to be honest, expectations are very restrained. I would like to hope that at least the “standard” discount for travel with any transponder will someday be the same for everyone. Although, given the exorbitant appetites of the operator of the M11 Moscow-Solnechnogorsk section (15-58 km), the North-West Concession Company (SZKK) company, which, in my opinion, are significantly inflated compared to Avtodor tariffs (with the worse quality of the toll section - the number of lanes , illumination, speed limit, etc.) and are generally inadequate in comparison with “pay zones” in other countries (and I travel a lot and can compare!), hopes in this regard are very vague...

By the way, if you often travel between cities, why not? Using this service you can save on travel much more than the savings from a transponder!

In conclusion, I would like to know your opinion about the adequacy of tariffs for toll sections from Avtodor and SZKK - I suggest you vote below:

Do you consider the tariffs for toll sections of the Avtodora and SZKK roads adequate?

Transponders (T-pass) have become an integral part of the lives of motorists. Devices installed on vehicles allow you to enter toll roads without stopping to pay the toll. The required amount is deposited automatically. A delay is only possible when you forgot to top up the transponder. One of the most convenient ways to top up an M4 transponder is through Sberbank Online. Using a banking service, you can automate the process of paying for permission to travel on toll roads.

How to top up an M4 transponder through the Sberbank Online system? Instructions

If the Sberbank Online service was used for payment, the financial institution will charge the user 3.9% of the amount sent. Information about this will be displayed on the transaction page.

Conclusion

Traveling on toll roads may require additional time if you do not install a transponder to automatically collect tolls. It will be faster this way. The process will speed up even more when you connect automatic payment to Sberbank Online. In this case, the user will only have to ensure that the account always has the amount necessary to pay for services.

Starting from December 4, fares for travel on the Western High-Speed ​​Diameter in St. Petersburg will be changed in a targeted manner, and a new Flow+ system will be introduced for transponder owners.

Flow+ will allow transponder owners to pay for the specific route they travel, rather than the default fare zone. Payment under this system will be approximately 15% lower. For transponders with a subscription fee under the new system, there is an additional 10% discount on the base tariff for transponders.

When using the Flow+ mode, the driver must ensure that the transponder is attached to the windshield and also check that the vehicle license plates are legible. At each entrance and exit to the WHSD, antennas and video cameras are installed that record transponder numbers and signals. This will make it possible to determine the route of the car as accurately as possible. If the transponder is located in the glove compartment or on the dashboard, then the antenna may not pick up the signal, and you will have to pay the entire fare for the tariff zone.

Tariffs under the Flow+ system are developed for all possible routes on the WHSD. You can calculate the cost of your route yourself by using the calculator on the Northern Capital Highway website. The Flow+ system should become a transitional stage to the barrier-free Free Flow system.

In addition, from December 4, tariffs will change in a targeted manner when paying for travel in cash, BSK or bank cards at the following points:

• at the entrance from Bogatyrsky Prospekt towards Primorsky Prospekt;
• when exiting onto Bogatyrsky Prospekt when driving from Primorsky Prospekt (tariff zone 3-a);
• at the entrance from Blagodatnaya Street towards the embankment of the Ekateringofka River;
• at the exit to Blagodatnaya Street. when driving from the embankment of the Ekateringofka River (tariff zone 2).

The following tariffs are introduced:

1. for cars and motorcycles:
   • tariff zone 1 “KAD (South) – Blagodatnaya”: daytime – 45 rubles, night – 20 rubles;
   • tariff zone 2 “Blagodatnaya - Ekateringofka”: day – 50 rubles, night – 20 rubles;
   • tariff zone 1 + tariff zone 2 “KAD (South) - Ekateringofka”: day – 80 rubles, night – 30 rubles.
2. For large SUVs, motorhomes, buses and trucks with two axles:
   • tariff zone 1 “KAD (South) – Blagodatnaya”: daytime – 80 rubles, night – 30 rubles;
   • tariff zone 2 “Blagodatnaya – Ekateringofka”: day – 80 rubles, night – 30 rubles;
   • tariff zone 1 + tariff zone 2 “KAD (South) - Ekateringofka”: day – 135 rubles, night – 50 rubles.
3. For vehicles with single-axle trailers, heavy trucks and large three-axle buses:
   • tariff zone 1 “KAD (South) – Blagodatnaya”: daytime – 100 rubles, night – 40 rubles;
   • tariff zone 2 “Blagodatnaya - Ekateringofka”: day – 100 rubles, night – 40 rubles;
   • tariff zone 1 + tariff zone 2 “KAD (South) - Ekateringofka”: day – 180 rubles, night – 70 rubles.
4. For vehicles with two-axle trailers, road trains:
   • tariff zone 1 “KAD (South) – Blagodatnaya”: daytime – 150 rubles, night – 60 rubles;
   • tariff zone 2 “Blagodatnaya – Ekateringofka”: day – 150 rubles, night – 60 rubles;
   • tariff zone 1 + tariff zone 2 “KAD (South) - Ekateringofka”: day – 270 rubles, night – 110 rubles.

When passing through these zones, the fare remains the same. Raising fares should encourage drivers to use transponders. This will not only help save money, but also increase the capacity of the WHSD.

Also, from December 4, discounts when paying for travel with personalized contactless cards are canceled. Drivers can exchange BSK for a transponder free of charge while maintaining their personal account balance.

Innovations are related to the central section of the WHSD. According to preliminary forecasts, as a result, the highway load may increase fourfold.
