[[File:minsk_aplata.jpg|400px|thumb|left|Payment system in Minsk public transport]]
In Minsk operate buses, trolleybuses, trams, underground, city trains, mini-buses (maršrutka).
Public == Blackriding=== Blackriding in overground transport works from 5:30 is possible. Although ticket inspectors don't wear uniform you can recognise them as they usually work in agroup of 2 or 3, wear a portable video recorder and a badge with name and photo on the chest.mSo if you notice inspectors standing at the bus stop, just get off. They won't do anything to 01:00 you. On the underground it is almost impossible to blackride as there are turnstiles there (both at the entrance and exit) and a person keeping order (usually together with apoliceman).m. There are no night routes!!!conductors on city trains so blackriding is hardly possible.
Buses, trolleybuses, trams and underground are equipped with unified payment system. You can pay with a special card (sold in kiosks) or with a paper ticket (token in the underground). In mini-buses (maršrutka) you pay straight to a driver. Tickets for city-trains are bought in ticket offices at the stations of from a conductor on a train itself (costs more).
* Public overground transport fares (single ticket): 5000 BYR (€0.25) / 5500 BYR (€0.28) (sold by drivers)
* Underground (single ticket): 5500 BYR (€0.28):
* Maršrutka fares: ~15000 BYR (€0.85)
* Penalty fares: ~ 90000 BYR (€5.10)
There are several variants of multi-journey tickets (for 3/5/10/20/30 days, for 5/10/20/30/40/50/60 rides, for any combination of types of public transport). More info [http://minsktrans.by/ru/tariff HERE (in Russian only)].

On the underground it is almost impossible to blackride as there are turnstiles there (both at the entrance and exit) and a person keeping order (usually together with a policeman). The only option which works well is "Kupalaŭskaja/Kastryčnickaja" station. You should use the entrance at the corner of praspiekt Niezaliežnasci (Independance avenue) and vulica Enhielsa (Engels street) and pass through the exit doors (to the left from the entrance itself). This exit is not equipped with turnstiles so you can easily get in. But be careful and don't let a person who keeps order or a policeman notice you.{{nomadwiki}}
There are conductors on city trains so blackriding is hardly possible.

== Hitching out ==
=== West towards [[Hrodna]], [[Vilnius]] ===
=== North-West towards [[Zasłaŭje]], [[Maładziečna]], [[Smarhoń]], [[Miadzieł]], [[Narač]] ===
=== East, Southeast towards [[Mahilioŭ]], [[Babrujsk]], [[Homiel]] ===
Take Metro (2nd (red) line ''Aŭtazavodskaja linija'') to ''Mahilioŭskaja' ("Магілёўская") station, then take a bus buses #110, #110a, #160, #160a and other to "Sosny", or #112 to ''Sokal'' get . Get off at the station "Pavarot na Sosny" ("Паварот на Сосны") on the top of the junction with M1. You can try hitching just after the junction or walk 1.5 2 km towards junction of M4 (towards [[Mahilioŭ]]) and M5 (towards [[Homiel]]) roads.
Alternatively, you can take bus #93 from the same station and get off right after it turns off from the motorway, walk a few hundred metres in the same direction with the traffic to the closest bus stop on the motorway to start hitchhiking from there.
=== South-East towards [[Barysaŭ]], [[Moscow]], [[Russia]] ===
An alternative is to take any public transport going to the airport of Minsk. It is outside the city on the road to Moscow. If you let yourself drop on the last turn before the airport, you are on a perfect spot and direct lifts to Moscow are not uncommon.
=== South-West towards [[Brest (Belarus)|Brest]], [[Poland]] ===
Take Metro (1st (blue) line Maskoŭskaja linija) to "Malinaŭka" ("Малінаўка") station. Then you can either walk about 1 km or take bus #28 (direction "Karžanieŭskaha" ("Каржанеўскага")) to ''Pavarot na Malinaŭku'' ("Паварот на малінаўку") stop (next stop). Travel time by bus is about 3 min.
==Nomadwiki & Trashwiki =Blackriding=== Blackriding in overground transport is possible. All ticket inspectors wear a uniform (although it has become harder to notice them recently). So if you notice inspectors standing at the bus stop, just get off. They won't do anything to you.
