In 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.

===Blackriding===
Blackriding in ground overground transport is possible. All ticket inspectors wear a uniform (although it has become harded 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.
There are conductors in on city trains so blackriding is hardly possible.
