RA1 (Russian: РА1 - рельсовый автобус, тип 1) (Rail Bus, 1st type) - a series of rail buses that unified structurally with metrovagon. It is produced by JSC "Metrovagonmash". That is an independent mobile unit for the carriage of passengers. The term "Motor coach" is considered more correct by the majority of specialists. However PA1 is classified exactly as "railbuses" in the JSC "Metrovagonmash" factory documentation. Designed for the transport of passengers on non-electrified sections of railways and can be used for urban, suburban and interregional communication. Railbus have cabins at both ends of the car, and do not require a turn. At the same time, RA1 can be operated singly and in the system of many units (in pairs with 2-3 sections) both. The family PA1 is represented by six models. The body, the crew and the undercarriage are made on the basis of the "Yauza" subway wagons.
