Sormovskaya line – it has 7 stations and connects Sormovsky City District and Nizhny Novgorod railway station. This makes it an alternative to the metro line in Sormovo. Has an interchange from the railway station to the metro station Moskovskaya.[3] For a free interchange, you can use the boarding pass for 90 minutes.

Priokskaya line works only in the summer. It has 14 stations and 4 interchange stations at the Nizhny Novgorod railway station, the Petryaevka, Okskaya and Prospekt Gagarina stations.[4] It partially intersects with the suburb and connects the Kanavinsky, Leninsky, Avtozavodsky and Prioksky City Districts.[5] 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 City Rail 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 City Rail. Station Kustovaya is located near the metro station Komsomolskaya, and is an indirect interchange node between them.
