Priokskaya line works only in the summer. It has 14 stations and 2 interchange stations at the Nizhny Novgorod railway station and the Orlovka station. It partially intersects with the suburb and connects the Kanavinsky, Leninsky, Avtozavodsky and Prioksky City Districts.[4] It has different tariff zones due to the fact that some stations are located outside the city.
In addition to the main two lines, there are two other directions that are not included in the Urban Electric Train system: "Pochinki – Varya" and "Doskino – Kustovaya". The fare here is equal to the fare in any city public transport. There are also interchange stations for the Urban Electric Train.
