Train tickets in Mongolia
Don't expect any agent of Ulaanbaatar railway in a station or in a national train to speak anything but Mongolian and, possibly, Russian. It's not possible to pay your ticket by credit card. You pay an extra fee if you book in advance, and also an extra fee if you buy it in the train, which is the only possibility left if there are less than 10 min left before the train departure. Your passport is required to buy a ticket, but you can buy several people's tickets with one passport.
There are 3 classes: "coupé", "sleeping", "public" (translated into English by "economic" by the company). "Coupé" is the only one with doors. In "public" it's possible you have to spend your night sitting and even with little space on crowed days. The tickets are numbered, but, when the seats are exhausted, the company overbooks public seats with tickets numbered "0", at the same price.
The "public" seats tickets are much cheaper (and much slower) than the coach, minivan and taxi competitors.
The schedules are on the company .
In a coupé at night, you'll be charged for compulsory additional bed sheets inside the train.
