There are vending machines on almost every platform to buy the ticket in  
advance with payment in cash or credit card. They have a multilingual GUI,  
so you can't go wrong. I'd recommend them over buying the ticket on board  
 from the conductor, as it incurs a surcharge... and the machine is often  
friendlier. ;^)

Definitely. Unless you wanna experience the dregs of western society at  
play AND vandals at work. Plus it will take you 1/2 day/night to reach  
your destination (IF you reach your destination), since they stop every 10  
mins at cowtowns you won't even find on the map! Repeat: do NOT take RE/RB!
