Types of fines for public transport drivers
The concept of “public transport” includes buses, trams and trolleybuses. Often, due to requests from passengers, drivers stop in places not intended for stopping vehicles, which is fraught with punishment. Thus, the system of fines for persons operating public transport is regulated by Article 11.33 of the regulatory act of the Russian Federation on administrative violations.
Penalty for boarding or disembarking in non-designated areas
If the driver made a stop for the first time to disembark passengers on a non-inappropriate section of the road, he will face a more lenient penalty. In this case, the amount of the fine will be 3 thousand rubles.
Penalty for repeat violation
If within one year from the date of the previous incident of disembarking passengers in the wrong place, a repeated event of this nature occurs, more stringent sanctions will be applied to the driver. The administrative fine for a repeated offense will be 5 thousand rubles without the right to receive a discount for timely payment.

Fine for disembarking passengers in the wrong place Good afternoon, dear reader.
In this article we will talk about administrative fines for drivers of public transport: trams, trolleybuses and buses. The last group includes drivers of so-called minibus taxis, i.e.
small buses. They are famous for frequently violating transportation rules, including disembarking passengers outside the stop zone.
The fine for disembarking passengers in the wrong place will apply from July 15, 2021. In addition, starting from this date, several more fines related to public transport are in effect. Let's take a closer look at them.
The new fines apply to all types of public transport: buses, trams and trolleybuses. However, in practice, violations are not systematic in all regions. In some cities it is not customary to stop “just anywhere”. In other regions, on-demand stops have become widespread.
Fines for drivers of buses, trams and trolleybuses are listed in Article 11.33 of the Administrative Code.

Who might be the offender?
Two main categories of motorists can drop off passengers on a section of road not intended for such actions:
- drivers of various types of passenger transport;
- owners of personal vehicles.
The system of punishments for representatives of these groups is provided for in the Code of Administrative Offences. It is worth noting that the amount of fines in the first and second cases differs significantly.
Bus drivers will pay a fine for disembarking passengers in the wrong place
Question: I am driving around the city driving a car and I see bus drivers disembarking passengers in an unspecified place, thereby obstructing traffic. Have you heard that a law has been passed that will fine bus drivers for dropping off passengers outside public transport stops?
Deputy Zheleznogorsk Interdistrict Prosecutor Boris Skopinov answers: In accordance with the Federal Law of July 13, 2015 No. 220-FZ “On the organization of regular transportation of passengers and luggage by road and urban ground electric transport in the Russian Federation and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation” The Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses has been supplemented with Article 11.33, which provides for liability for violating the procedure for using a bus, tram or trolleybus.
According to Part 1 of Article 11.33 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, boarding a bus, tram or trolleybus or disembarking passengers from a bus, tram or trolleybus in unspecified places is an administrative offense.
For committing this offense, punishment is imposed in the form of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of three thousand rubles. In case of repeated offense by the driver, the fine will be five thousand rubles.
Responsibility for committing an administrative offense provided for in Article 11.33 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation will apply from July 14, 2016

Responsibility for drivers of route vehicles
Drivers of regular transport often encounter situations when passengers want to get off in the wrong place. If the disembarkation occurs outside the stop sign area, the carrier risks facing certain sanctions.
Such cases are regulated by the provisions of Article 11.33 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The law stipulates that drivers who make a stop for the first time without taking into account the traffic situation will be required to pay a fine, which will indicate the amount of 3 thousand rubles.
Repeated offenses entail greater penalties. If the carrier again drops off passengers outside the stop sign area within a year, he will receive a fine in the amount of 5 thousand rubles.
Each region of the country has its own standards and approaches regarding disembarking passengers in places where it will be more convenient for them to get off the transport. In certain cities and regions, the authorities are loyal to this kind of minor offenses. In others, drivers will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if they deviate from the established route.
Stop rules
A stop is the cessation of movement of a vehicle for a short period of time, up to 5 minutes.
According to existing traffic rules, a car or bus can be stopped:
In special places intended for stopping. If it is a regular road with one-lane traffic in one direction and the other, and there are no designated places to stop, then the car can stop on the side of the road.
If there is no shoulder, you can stop the car on the right side of the roadway, so that there is no obstacle to the passage of other cars.
Stopping on the roadway at an angle is only possible in places where it will not interfere with the passage of other vehicles. If there is a sidewalk for pedestrians near the stopping place, then at an angle with the front of the vehicle. On inclines - with the back of the car.
It is prohibited to stop cars in two or more rows.
You can't stop:
- on ups and downs,
- at a railway crossing,
- overpasses, bridges, overpasses,
- less than 100 meters before the turn,
- in places where pedestrian crossings are installed, 10 meters before and 10 meters after the crossing.
Parking of cars is prohibited in these areas.
Responsibility for owners of private vehicles
In cases involving personal vehicles, drivers are most often held liable for stopping in the following places:
- on a narrow section of the road where the passage of cars is difficult (an abandoned vehicle will block the view of other motorists);
- at all intersections (except T-shaped);
- closer than 5 meters from the pedestrian crossing zone or within it;
- on overpasses;
- on tram tracks;
- on overpasses.
Depending on the type of offense, the driver will be subject to various penalties. Thus, the total penalty for stopping on an inappropriate section of the road for the purpose of disembarking people being transported ranges from 500 to 3,000 rubles.
It is important to know: residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg may face an increased fine. This is explained by the fact that in megacities, a vehicle left in the wrong place will create much more inconvenience for other road users than in small cities.
Liability of individuals
Read:
Penalty for stopping under a “No Stopping” sign. As for drivers who unload passengers from personal vehicles, stopping to perform such actions in the following places will be considered a violation:
- At a pedestrian crossing and at a distance of 5 meters from it and after it;
- On tram tracks;
- On a lane or path intended for the movement of public transport, bicycles and mopeds;
- At intersections and at a distance of 5 meters from and to them. An exception to this situation is T-shaped intersections, if the motorist’s actions do not impede the movement of other vehicles;
- In those places where the motorist will block the visibility of road signs;
- On narrow roads, provided that after stopping the car there is less than 3 meters between it and the solid line;
- On the highway, if there is a turn closer than 100 meters and thus visibility is limited;
- At minibus or taxi stops, as well as at a distance of 15 meters to them;
- On bridges, overpasses, overpasses and under them.
The responsibility of drivers of personal transport will also be expressed in the need to pay a fine. The minimum amount will be determined by stopping in the area of effect of a sign prohibiting such an action. For other violations, the fine can reach 3 thousand rubles. The maximum amount, as a rule, is imposed in individual constituent entities of the Russian Federation, such as Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Dear Maxim and all drivers! A route taxi is at the same time a route transport, a taxi and a bus, since it has all of their characteristics.
Therefore, it is subject to all rights and restrictions relating to each of these types of transport. So, for example, minibuses must follow an approved route (including by the carrier organization) and be transport that is generally accessible to all citizens (service buses are not such ), board and disembark passengers anywhere along the route. So no one has the right to impose any fines for boarding and disembarking passengers outside of route transport stops. A.A. Rekant Driver experience 62 years, kms.

Buses of particularly small capacity, popularly called minibuses, have nothing to do with taxis. According to the Charter of Motor Transport, 294-FZ, a taxi is a car of the M1 category, while the Gazelle is an M2. In addition, these minibuses do not have permission under 69FZ.

Good afternoon But we have such a situation in our yard. The minibuses made their final stop in a residential courtyard.
There are no signs, as well as the stop pavilion itself. Residents are already tired of contacting the city administration and the director of this route. Where can I complain in this case so that measures can be taken and the minibuses removed from the yard?

Maxim » 30 May 2021, 15:39 Nikolay, hello. What exactly do you think buses violate? Which clause of which regulatory document? This is not clear from your description of the situation. If the yard area belongs to a residential building, then at a general meeting of owners a decision can be made to install a fence, barrier or something similar to restrict passage.
Good luck on the roads!
