Long-distance passenger trains are operated by FPK (Federalnaya Passazhirskaya Kompania), another subsidiary of RZD, with their own coaches and locomotives owned by RZD. Local and regional express trains are operated by 27 suburban passenger companies (PPKs) who also rent locomotives and trainsets from RZD. TsPPK in Moscow has ordered their own new trainsets for new services in and around Moscow, these are operated by the RZD Moscow division.

There are open-access operators, they mainly use their own diesel and electric trainsets once owned by RZD. Locomotive-hauled regional trains are rare nowadays.
