Buses, trolleybuses, trams and underground are equipped with a 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 0.55 BYN (€0.2527) / 5500 BYR 0,60 BYN (€0.2829) (sold by drivers)* Underground (single ticket): 5500 BYR 0.60 BYN (€0.2829):* Maršrutka fares: ~15000 BYR 1,50 BYN (€0.8573)* Penalty fares: ~ 90000 BYR 11,50 BYN (€5.1060)
There are several variants of multi-journey tickets (for 1/3/5/10/20/30 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)].
[[File:Kamizelki.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Ticket inspectors' uniform (since January 10, 2015]]
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.
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.
There are conductors on city trains so blackriding is hardly possible.
