The travel cost from Moscow to Kazan on the M-12 toll highway is set at 4,481 rubles for passenger cars, according to a TASS report citing Avtodor. The figure reflects the latest tariff decision that governs toll payments on the route between the Russian capital and the historic Tatarstan city. This tariff is part of a broader pricing framework applied to vehicles using the toll segment of the highway and is expected to be applied consistently across all eligible passenger cars.
Officials emphasized that the schedule for already opened sections will remain unchanged. In practical terms, the cost from Moscow to Kazan for owners of passenger cars stands at 4,481 rubles, and this amount is the tariff rate that travelers should expect when planning their trips. The information clarifies that the tariff was calculated specifically for passenger cars, with different considerations possibly applying to other vehicle categories in subsequent updates.
Some time ago, residents of Moscow discussed the issue of travel expenses on the federal highway with reference to the tolls. In response, the authorities have continued to provide guidance on the pricing structure and the scope of the toll, aiming to maintain transparency for travelers who rely on this major corridor for interregional travel.
According to drivers’ calculations, the trip from Moscow to Kazan along the M-12 could cost around 6,000 rubles under certain estimates. The head of state responded by noting that the figure should fall within the range of 4,000 to 4.5 thousand rubles and pledged to oversee tariff levels to ensure they align with expectations for affordable travel on federal highways. This stance highlights ongoing concern about transport costs and the government’s role in monitoring pricing while balancing infrastructure funding needs.
As of now, the M-12 highway stretches 811 kilometers in total, with 415 kilometers designated as a toll section. This breakdown is important for travelers budgeting their trips, as it indicates the proportion of the route that will incur charges and the potential savings associated with choosing alternate routes when feasible.
Earlier reports also touched on government plans concerning funding for other major transport projects, including proposals from the Cabinet of Ministers to allocate resources toward the construction and modernization of the Novorossiysk-Kerch federal highway. While this topic is related to broader infrastructure investments, it remains a separate initiative from the tolls currently in effect on the M-12 corridor.
