The carrier company identified the anniversary traveler using a computer program. The buyer of the lucky ticket received gifts from the Crimean authorities, various companies and the Grand Service Express carrier company.
We meet our anniversary passengers more and more often. Previously it was once a year, now it happens about once every 10 months. And this indicates an increase in passenger traffic. In total, in 2025 we transported almost 6 million passengers, and this year we plan to keep the same high bar— said the head of the separate division “Crimea” of the joint-stock company TC “Grand Service Express” Albert Saretdinov.

The main gift from the carrier to Nadezhda and her husband Aslan was a certificate for a round trip trip on any Tavria train for two with a 99% discount. The couple received an armful of tulips from the Nikitsky Botanical Garden. And this is a new tradition in Crimea: to greet guests on significant dates with bouquets of flowers that bloom in the botanical garden that month.
