Public transport start time. How will transport work on holidays? International and intercity bus routes

Travel by night transport costs the same as during the day. So, with the “Unified” subscription, one trip will cost 55 rubles, and with the “TAT” subscription - 65 rubles. With the Troika card, travel on ground transport costs 35 rubles. A ticket can also be purchased from the driver for 55 rubles.

Where does the night land transport go?

Today in Moscow there are 11 night ground transport routes - seven buses, two trolleybuses and one tram. The main transfer point is located in the area of ​​the station. M. "Kitai-Gorod" - the final stop for most buses is on Slavyanskaya Square.

Night transport starts operating around 12 at night, when daytime transport no longer runs. The driver stops at the request of passengers at all stops along the route. Transport operates both on weekdays and on weekends.

The night route of bus No. H1 operates from 1:00 to 5:30. It runs from Ozernaya Street (Yugozapadnaya metro station) to Sheremetyevo Airport, stopping at terminals E, A and C. The service interval is 30 minutes.

The night route of bus No. H2 starts running at 12 at night and ends at 5:30. It runs from Belovezhskaya Street (near the Slavyansky Boulevard metro station) to the Kitay-Gorod metro station. The movement interval is 30 minutes.

The night route of bus No. N3 operates from 00:00 to 5:30. It runs from Ussuriyskaya Street (near the Shchelkovskaya metro station) to the Kitay-Gorod metro station. The movement interval is 30 minutes.

The night route of bus No. H4 starts operating at 23:57 and ends at 5:30. The final stations are Novokosino and the Kitay-Gorod metro station. The movement interval is 30 minutes.

The night route of bus No. H5 operates from 23:35 to 5:30. It runs from Kashirskoye Shosse, 148 (Krasnogvardeyskaya metro station) to the Kitay-Gorod metro station. The movement interval is also 30 minutes.

The night route of bus No. H6 starts running at 23:53 and ends at 5:30. It runs from Ostashkovskaya Street (near the Medvedkovo metro station) to the Kitay-Gorod metro station. The movement interval is 30 minutes.

Night bus route No. T15 operates around the clock. It runs from the Southern vestibule of VDNH to the street. 10th anniversary of October. The traffic interval at night is 30 minutes.

The night route of trolleybus No. M7 operates around the clock with a nighttime interval of 30 minutes. It runs from the 138th block of Vykhino (the nearest metro station is Ryazansky Prospekt) to the Lubyanka metro station.

The night trolleybus routes “Bk” and “Bch” follow the Garden Ring and differ in the direction of travel - clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively. They operate around the clock, and traffic intervals at night increase to 15 minutes.

The night tram route No. 3 runs from 1:00 to 5:30 from Akademika Yangelya Street (Chertanovskaya metro station) to Chistye Prudy metro station. The movement interval is 30 minutes.

How does transport work during the day and on holidays?

The operating hours of ground transport depend on the specific route. Usually the movement starts at 5.30-6.00. The last flights depart at different times. For example, bus No. 203 departs from the Tsaritsyno Metro stop at 1:08 on weekdays, and trolleybus No. 8 departs at 22:11 from the Moskvoretsky Market stop.

The metro opens at 5:30 am, and the crossings close at 1 am - this means that the last train leaves from each terminal station at this time. After 1 am the escalators do not work either. Of course, you can climb them on foot, but the main thing is not to miss the last train.

The Moscow Central Circle operates in almost the same way as the metro. The first trains depart at 5:45, and the last trains disembark passengers at approximately 1 am.

Electric trains start operating earlier than subway trains. The schedule depends on the departure and arrival stations. For example, you can leave from the Belorussky railway station to the Rabochiy Poselok station (not far from the Kuntsevskaya metro station) as early as 4:36 am on weekdays. The last trains from Moscow usually leave at 00:00-00:30.

The decision to change the operating mode of transport is made for each holiday separately. For the first time this year, on New Year's Eve, the metro operated around the clock. From half past twelve until 5.30, metro trains ran at intervals of 15 minutes. In past years, the subway's operating hours were only extended until 2 a.m. It is expected that this year the metro will operate around the clock and on City Day. All changes related to the operation of the metro can be found in the operational information department.

Until what time do buses run in Moscow? After all, the metropolis never sleeps and at night life only slows down slightly, but does not “die”.
Not everyone is rich enough to use a taxi, so it would be more advisable to simply check the bus times and routes.

What time do buses start in Moscow?

Mostly buses wake up at 5.30. Outlying routes start at 5.00. At the same time, trolleybuses and trams begin to operate.

Until what time do buses run in Moscow?

The shift of buses on outlying routes ends at 22.00; in the city until 24 hours there is still a chance to get home by bus.

There are also special night routes that are designed for night passengers.

There are 6 of these routes and they travel at 30-minute intervals along their routes. They start exactly at midnight and carry passengers along the following routes until 6 am:

H1 - Sheremetyevo Airport;
H2 - Belovezhskaya street;
H3 - Ussuriyskaya street;
H4 - Novokosino;
H5 - Kashirskoe highway, 148;
H6 - Ostashkovskaya street.

Public transport is becoming increasingly inaccessible for city residents in the evenings. Going anywhere after nine in the evening is a whole problem, especially now that carriers have switched to the so-called “winter” schedule.

The departure time of the last tram does not suit Khabarovsk residents

— The last tram leaves the station at nine in the evening! Is it normal? Many people finish work at both 20:00 and 21:00. Public transport should work for passengers, and not in the way that suits them! — indignant reader Tatyana Pavlovna called our editorial office. — How do people get home? Sometimes we wait for the tram for 40 minutes, and in winter we will have to make transfers so as not to freeze at the stops.

Indeed, moving around Khabarovsk in the evening is not easy: some routes end their service a little after nine, while others leave for the last flight at eight in the evening.

And the other day, the city administration reported that the operating time of two popular routes among citizens - trolleybus No. 1, running from the Airport to Komsomolskaya Square, and the “five” tram, running from the railway station to the Serverny microdistrict, will also be reduced. As of yesterday, the last flight on these routes departs an hour earlier.

According to the head of the transport department, Sergei Sukovaty, the municipal enterprise took such measures because of the low passenger flow in the evenings. The carriers assure that after eight in the evening Khabarovsk buses, trams and trolleybuses carry “air”, with 5-7 people in each cabin, which means the transport operates at a loss.

Evening rate didn't help?

By the way, in order not to go into the red, this fall they came up with "evening tariff":from 20:00 on buses of the municipal park, as well as on electric transport, fares grew up to 30 rubles. Commercial carriers have also jumped on the bandwagon.

However, city residents are confident that public transport is simply necessary in the evening.

I leave work at half past eight, and often see the following picture: buses go to the park. For example, “one” often goes in the evening only to the station,” reader Alexander shared with us. - Route No. 34 also goes to the garage instead of the last flight. Sometimes I wait 15-20 minutes for the right bus.

We were returning from an evening circus performance at the weekend; it was just after nine. Two buses No. 34 passed us and everyone was going to the park. After standing at the bus stop for 20 minutes, I had to call a taxi,” city resident Elena shares with us.

Reducing flights as a way to save money

The gradual reduction of evening flights in Khabarovsk began in February last year. First, the changes affected bus routes No. 1L, 1C, 7, 8, 13, 14, 21, 29K, 29P, 34, 55, 58 and tram routes No. 1 and 5.

For the second year in a row, public transport services in Khabarovsk are being gradually reduced. Photo from social networks.

This summer, the transport department informed passengers that the last “ten” from Podsobnoe Khozyaystvo would depart at 19:31, and from the Kalinina stop an hour later - at 20:34. In September of this year, bus No. 54, following the route of the village. Gorky - Komsomolskaya Square began to end its work at 19.40. And now, since December, the operating hours of trams and trolleybuses have been reduced.

What time does the last bus leave in Khabarovsk?

If you look at the December schedule of public municipal transport, which is posted on the city administration’s website, you will notice that most city routes finish operating around eight in the evening or a little later. And on weekends, you don’t even have to wait for many buses after 19:00.

After ten in the evening there are only a few routes running around the city: “one” leaves for the last trip at 22.03, you can go to the Southern microdistrict on 56 or 25, they finish work at 22.30, and also at 22.40 route No. 11 stops operating. Moreover, all these routes commercial, and according to the experience of city residents, private carriers do not always comply with the schedule in the evenings or in bad weather. Therefore, sometimes you may not wait for the bus.

I remember that in one of the interviews, the head of the transport department, Sergei Sukovaty, who was then still working in the acting capacity, explained to the journalist Habinfo that public transport is not a taxi, and if citizens stay somewhere until late, then they need to turn to private carriers, and can't get enough of public transport. Apparently, this is the only way for Khabarovsk residents to get home in the evenings.

Historically, Moscow is the country's largest transport hub. The city is at the heart of a network of railways and motorways. Various types of public transport are developed within the city.

Public transport in Moscow is represented by buses, trams, trolleybuses, taxis, minibuses, metro, monorail, trains, and river transport.

Bus

The bus is the main type of ground public transport in Moscow. It is managed by the management company SUE Mosgortrans. Despite the fact that the first bus passed through the streets of Moscow in 1924, this type of public transport gained popularity only in the 1950-1960s. Today there are bus routes No. 1-964. The highest density of bus routes is on the outskirts of Moscow, where there is no metro yet, as well as on chord routes connecting different metro radii. In these cases, buses transport passengers from residential areas to the nearest metro station. There are almost no bus routes in the center of the capital: many of them were abolished in the early 1990s due to the high density of metro stations. In addition, in the center of Moscow, buses are faced with competition from an extensive network of minibuses and more economical trolleybuses.

Electric bus

In September 2018, a new type of transport began operating in Moscow - an electric bus, or otherwise an electric-powered bus. Such a bus is charged at final stops and in vehicle depots. Electric buses have free Wi-Fi. There are currently 5 routes.

Trolleybus

The Moscow trolleybus network is the largest in the world and one of the oldest currently operating - it was opened on November 15, 1933. Operated by the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans.

The Moscow trolleybus network is radial-circular. On some routes, the trolleybus is the main form of ground transport. Entrance to the trolleybus is made through the front door (closest to the driver), exit through the rest. Moscow trolleybuses run daily from 6:00-7:00 to 23:00-24:00.

Tram

Tram traffic in Moscow began in 1899, and today there are two completely isolated tram networks in the capital: the main one, consisting of the Yauzskaya and Apakovskaya networks, loosely connected to each other, and the “Stroginskaya” network in the north-west. The tram network has a total of 49 routes, the number of which has not been increasing, but has only been decreasing in recent years. The tram today accounts for about 5% of passenger traffic in the city, although in some outlying areas it is still the main transport link to the metro. The Moscow tram network is managed by the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans.

Tickets

Travel on public transport operated by the State Unitary Enterprise "Mosgortrans" - buses, trams and trolleybuses - is paid for with single tickets.

Prices for travel on public transport in Moscow in 2019. Cost information on the Mosgortrans website.

The "Wallet" ticket on the Troika card allows you to pay for travel in the amount of 38 rubles.

You can buy tickets and transport cards in metro passages, at stops or directly from the driver. Official points for selling tickets and replenishing the balance of transport cards are on the website map of the State Unitary Enterprise "Mosgortrans".

Night transport

Such a densely populated city as Moscow, offering all the opportunities for an active life, simply could not do without night routes, of which there are 13 in the capital. Some night routes (including buses, trolleybuses and one tram route) coincide with daytime ones, some are extended versions of daytime ones, some of them exist only at night. Night routes operate mainly from 00:00 to 06:00. The fare does not differ from daytime routes.

Description of all routes with diagrams on the Mosgortrans website.

Minibus taxi

Route taxis are, along with buses, one of the most popular types of ground public transport in Moscow. Minibus taxis appeared in the city in the 30s of the 20th century. By the beginning of the current century, they seriously competed with municipal transport, covering almost all important areas. Since 2006, all minibus taxis are subordinate to the Moscow Department of Transport and Communications and coordinate their work with Mosgortrans.

The fleet of minibuses is represented by domestic and imported minibuses with 9-20 seats. The network of minibus taxis largely replicates the network of bus (less often trolleybus) lines; in total, there are 767 minibus routes in Moscow. Their role is especially great in suburban areas, where they are often the only mode of transport. “Minibuses” are usually designated by 2 numbers: the number of the duplicate public transport route (bus, trolleybus, tram), and the actual minibus number with the letter “m” at the end.

You can enter and exit the minibus not only at stops, but also at other places along the route convenient for passengers. To do this, it is enough to “vote” the approaching minibus, or, accordingly, loudly announce the desired disembarkation point in the cabin.

The fare is 55 rubles, the money is paid directly to the driver or transferred in the cabin via a “live” chain.

Taxi

There are a huge number of taxi companies in Moscow. You can either order a taxi by phone, which will be more expensive, but also safer, or you can “catch” a passing car on the street. Official taxis, as a rule, are represented by new cars of good models, both domestic and foreign. The cost of travel in all services is approximately the same. The car arrives free of charge in 15-20 minutes. Waiting for a client, idle time at traffic lights, in traffic jams and driving at a speed of less than 25 km/h - the first 10 minutes are free, each subsequent minute is 10 rubles. The trip is paid according to the meter, at the rate of 30 rubles. / km. When traveling one way outside the Moscow Ring Road in the range of 5-50 km from the Moscow Ring Road, the tariff increases by 20%, from 51 km and further - by 50%. The night rate (from 21:00 to 8:00) is about 20% more expensive, as are trips on holidays.

Transfers to airports have a fixed cost.

You can order an individual transfer to the airport or another city using the kiwitaxi.ru service:

Transfers from Moscow

Show transfers to Moscow

Let's consider an important topic for our capital - public transport and all the nuances relating to it.

What types of transport can you use in Moscow? The choice is great: ground transport (buses, trolleybuses, trams, minibuses), underground metro and elevated monorail, trains, and there is even the option of traveling by water, although it is used only for entertainment purposes.

It is also important to note that there is a division into urban and suburban transport, and since the first serves Moscow, and the second, respectively, the region, it should be remembered that tariffs and payment methods depend on this.

Now more details!

Metro

Fast and Affordable

The most common and indispensable option for moving around Moscow. By the way, the Moscow metro is also considered one of the most beautiful in the world! In addition, its length is very large (333.5 km in total) and it continues to increase. So it’s quite possible to spend two hours underground, getting from different points of the city. And this is the fastest option available!

It is unlikely that you will be able to pass by the metro entrance; apart from the bright red large letter “M”, your attention will be attracted by the huge passenger flow.

It's difficult to get confused here. The metro layout is clear and accessible, largely thanks to the ring line, which connects all other lines.

When crossing and exiting the city, you just need to carefully read the signs, which are located literally everywhere, including the floor and ceiling.

An undoubted advantage of the Moscow metro is free wi-fi. So, if you urgently need to connect to the Internet, feel free to go down to the subway. If you need long access, the ring branch is at your disposal;)

Opening hours

The metro operates from 5:30 to 1:30. Each station has its own opening time. It varies around half an hour. You must enter the metro and have time to transfer to the desired line before one in the morning, since at this time all entrance doors are closed and the last train departs from each terminal station.

Fare

In order to go down to the metro, the easiest way is to buy a “Single” ticket. It is called that because it allows you to travel not only on the subway, but also on buses, trolleybuses and trams, which is, without a doubt, very convenient!

A ticket for one trip, which can be purchased both at ticket offices and from vending machines, will cost you 50 rubles, for two - twice as much. You can spend them within 5 days, then the card will become invalid. And then another pleasant system comes into play: the more trips you buy, the cheaper the travel costs! True, the next figure is only 20 trips. But if you often use transport and stay in the capital for at least a week, such a purchase is worth thinking about. You can ride on it for 90 days, and it costs 650 rubles. Thus, one trip costs 32.5 rubles! Clear savings.

But what if you definitely can’t spend 20 trips, but want to save money? Take Troika! You buy a card at the cash desk, leaving a deposit of 50 rubles; you can top it up at any machine. And, voila, your fare on the metro and monorail costs 32 rubles, and on all ground transport (except commercial) - 31! When you leave, return the card to the cashier and receive your 50 rubles deposit. But if you take the “Troika” with you with a positive balance, then within 5 years you will still be able to travel the entire balance on your next visits to the capital!

In addition, there is a system of unlimited trips all on the same “United”. For a day the cost of a ticket is 210 rubles, for 3 days - 400, in general, you can take it for at least a whole year for 18,200. Again, the question is about benefits.

There is another cunning system. It's called "90 minutes". Allows you to make one trip by metro and an unlimited number of transfers by ground transport during this time. One trip costs 60 rubles, two - 120.

In general, you can carefully study all these tariffs at each cash register!

• Since there are usually several exits from the metro, ask in advance which car from the center you need - the first or the last. Once you board the desired carriage, you will be closer to your exit;
• Remember the cars from which it is closer for you to get out into the city or it is more convenient to change trains if you are using the same route. This will significantly save your time;
• I also highly recommend avoiding rush hour! Perhaps there is someone who likes to feel the full power of our people, who smoothly carries you in and out of the car, even when you don’t need it, but I think there are only a few of them. So it’s better to postpone your trip to an earlier or later time if you suddenly realize that you are entering a period of “bacchanalia”. Namely: morning hours on weekdays - from about 7 to 10, and evening hours - from 6 to 8. This advice applies to all transport in general. Well, if you still have a bloody nose and need to be somewhere at this time, then use either the metro or electric trains - here you have the least chance of getting stuck in a traffic jam;
• A male voice announces stations towards the center, a female voice - from the center. On the ring line, a man's voice sounds when moving clockwise, and a woman's voice sounds counterclockwise. This knowledge will help you find your way if you suddenly find yourself on a train without looking exactly where it is going;
• And, of course, take care of your things! Pickpocketing is such a common phenomenon that it would seem that it is not worth repeating, but they happen with enviable regularity. Of course, you don’t need to see everyone as a potential thief, but it won’t hurt to be a little more vigilant.

Ground transportation

Buses, trolleybuses and trams

It’s not for nothing that I combine these three types of transport, because, despite the presence or absence of “horns”, in this case their essence is the same and the payment too :)

When boarding, a ticket for one trip can be purchased directly from the driver for 50 rubles. Or use “United”, purchased at the metro ticket office. You can also buy a ticket at the bus stop from a kiosk (if there is one), which will be very prudent on your part, since entry is only through the front door and everyone who has to take tickets from the driver will significantly delay the always rushing line.

Every stop is announced in the salon, so you won’t miss it. I especially like how this happens on Berezhkovskaya embankment (not far from the Kievsky railway station) - the intonation with which the announcements are made evokes a lot of positive emotions! By the way, if you have time, I advise you to visit those regions. Nice place. You can end up there if you want to visit the Novodevichy Convent or decide to take an excursion to Mosfilm!

Night routes

There are 11 night routes of ground urban transport in Moscow.

Night ring trolleybuses No. "Bk" and "Bch" (passes through the areas: Basmanny, Tagansky, Zamoskvorechye, Yakimanka, Khamovniki, Arbat, Presnensky, Tverskoy, Meshchansky, Krasnoselsky) run every 15 minutes, other night routes operate at 30-minute intervals .
For the convenience of passengers in the city center, radial buses and trolleybus No. 63 arrive at a stop on Lubyanka Square, where you can make a transfer.
The fare does not differ from daytime fares. Working hours are approximately the same for everyone - from 23:30 to 5:30, or around the clock.

Buses of the Moscow region

But here we already have our own system! Fares are completely different and depend on how far you are traveling. You can check the cost with the conductor, who will serve you inside the bus and tell you the right stop! City payment cards (“Troika”, “Ediny”) are not valid on these routes! In addition, it has its own Strelka travel card. It costs 200 rubles, of which the collateral value is 80, and 120 goes to your card. The most convenient way to replenish it is through a bank card directly in the Strelka application on your smartphone (kiosks at bus stops sometimes do not have such a service). If necessary, you can also return it and get the security deposit back, however, you will have to provide a receipt or a printout from the website confirming the fact that you topped up the balance no earlier than this month. In general, there are more problems with the suburban Strelka than with the Moscow Troika, but it will save your finances significantly.

Minibus taxi

When I first arrived in Moscow, I was very surprised why minibus drivers were so eager to invite passengers to join them. After all, if I’m not on the same path, then I definitely won’t go with him. And then I realized that they have high competition. Both with other similar routes and with city buses.

A clear advantage, perhaps, is that it is the fastest land-based commercial mode of transport. And in terms of money, travel within the city will cost 25-35 rubles, that is, no more than a one-time purchase of a bus pass. They will take you out of town at different rates. Usually it is around 40-70 rubles.

Both old low gazelles and modern wide Fords drive along the routes. And the drivers are invariably those who belong in Formula 1, so don’t expect a smooth road. But I repeat - but quickly :)

Opening hours

Again, it all depends on the specific route, but from 6:00 to 00:00 any day you can go 100% to various points of the city.

All routes in your pocket

As for the routes themselves, I strongly advise you to install the application on your smartphone Yandex Transport, if you haven't done so already. The program allows you to monitor traffic online and operates not only in Moscow.

Honestly, the first 10 minutes after I installed this program, I watched with wild delight as circles with numbers moved across the screen and then this trolleybus/bus/tram/minibus rushed past me!

Very convenient when there is no exact timetable at a stop! By the way, in general, at many stops there is a board where the bus/trolleybus number and the number of minutes before it arrives at the stop are written.

This application also builds various route options that can be saved for the future.

In general, an extremely indispensable assistant for any passenger!

Overground transport, or monorail

The Moscow monorail transport system is an overpass above the ground, along which a rare train slowly glides. It consists of only one line and is subordinate to the metro, so the same “Troika”, “United” and all cards are valid here as on the regular metro.

This wonderful “reverse metro” is located in the Telecenter area, so if you are planning an excursion to the Ostankino Tower, a walk through the All-Russian Exhibition Center, or just somewhere near the Timiryazevskaya station, I advise you to take a ride on this unique transport! There will be a lot of impressions, that's for sure! It’s especially great in the evening to drive past the sparkling Cosmos Hotel and admire the main tower of our country stretching into the sky! Moreover, the entire journey will take you from end to end a maximum of 20 minutes.

Monorail stations are open for passengers to enter from 6:50 to 23:00.

Electric trains

This is truly excellent railway transport! He saved me more than once in various situations. For example, electric trains run almost 24 hours a day (sometimes you can board them at three in the morning, but generally they run from about 5 in the morning until one in the morning). Another joyful difference of this type of transport is that students get a 50% discount on travel.

It’s worth using the train not only when you need to cover a long distance outside the city, but also to travel within the city, especially if there are stations nearby at point A and point B of your trip.

Step-by-step instruction

Be that as it may, there are many nuances that are worth knowing. Let's look at the whole path in order.

Ticket

You can buy a ticket at the box office or purchase it yourself from a machine. On rare platforms in the area there are no ticket offices due to low passenger traffic; in this case, you buy a ticket from the controller on the train, naming the station from which you are traveling.

It is important to note that if you know the time of the train you need, it is better to arrive at the station in advance, because there may be queues at the ticket office. Moreover, if you are a student, cashiers love to look at your student ID for a long time.

The most important part of the ticket you receive is the bottom part with the barcode! Under no circumstances should it be wet or wrinkled, otherwise you will not be able to pass through the turnstiles installed at the entrance to and exit from the platform. So we bought a ticket, passed the turnstile and carefully hid it in the most secure pocket. If necessary, you will have to present it to the controller. The main thing is not to throw away your ticket before you go through the turnstile at the exit of the station you need! Otherwise, you will have to pay two or even three times more just to buy an exit ticket.

The ticket itself gives you the right to travel from station to station throughout the day. He is not tied to time. Therefore, you can immediately take a ticket for the return trip.

Platform

If this is a train station, then there will be many ways there. But in front of each there is a board where the departure time and the final stop of the train are written, as well as a list of stations that the train will pass through without stopping. The latter is worth paying special attention to. In addition, all trains are constantly announced. So information is everywhere, the main thing is to perceive it.

If this is an ordinary station, then there are at least two tracks and each also has a sign with the indicated direction. But I usually check with the box office which platform I should go to.

Train

And now you are already in a cozy orange or blue (depending on your luck) interior. Before departure, the final stop and stations at which the train will not stop will be announced, so if you make a mistake, there is still a chance to run out of the train :)

Stations are announced, although sometimes very quietly or unclearly, so keep your ears open.

Controllers keep order. All they need is to see your ticket. On some routes they are rare guests, and in some places you will have to show your ticket three times.

Hares

Now in Moscow they are actively fighting against “hares” and almost every station already has ticket offices and turnstiles, but if you somehow magically find yourself on a train without a ticket, here are some tips on how to play "Run away from the controller" ;)

• do NOT sit in the outer carriages in order to be able to move several carriages ahead from the impending danger;
• The surest sign that this danger is too close is a long line of young people, marginalized people and other representatives of the “rabbit clan”, moving from the next carriage in the direction of the law-loving controllers. You should join their formation and go so many cars ahead that the chase does not have time to catch up with you to your station;
• if the inspectors “drive” you into the last carriage, then many do a dangerous trick: during a stop at the station, they run from this carriage to the previous one, which has already been checked by the inspectors. I DO NOT recommend doing this, because it is really dangerous. True, the driver in this survival game is always on the side of the rabbits - it’s better for a careless stowaway to avoid a fine than to get run over by a train, so he won’t close the door in his face;
• extreme case. Having missed all opportunities to escape from them, the controller asks you to show your ticket. Sometimes a number will pass with an old ticket blatantly displayed. Personally, I did this twice and it worked both times :) Otherwise, you will simply have to pay the full fare. In response to a refusal, for some reason the controllers take the hares to the last carriage, where they apparently disembark them (why exactly through the last carriage - I don’t know). One way or another, if you travel without a ticket, you face a fine, which is calculated depending on the kilometers and the type/class of the car. Therefore, it is better not to bump into controllers, and even better to buy a ticket in advance.

I’ll devote a couple of lines to another advantage of electric trains: the presence of a toilet in the first carriage, which can sometimes be very useful! Also, with a ticket purchased at the station, you can enter the public toilet in the station building for free.

How to get to the airport

If trains arrive at stations located on the ring metro line, then all three Moscow airports are located outside the city.

Aeroexpress

The most common and reliable option. It travels from the center to the airport itself in just half an hour (or a little more - depends on the airport, but the time is fixed), and since this is a type of railway transport, you will not face any traffic jams. Very comfortable, fast, on time, but quite expensive - 470 rubles (420 when purchasing on the website or through a mobile application), and a child’s ticket will cost 130 rubles. When traveling with children, you must have a copy of the child's birth certificate confirming his age.

They go every half hour from 5:30 am to 1:00 am. But there are breaks of an hour, so it’s better to check in advance so as not to get into a very unpleasant situation and urgently look for other ways, as happened to me once.

You can get to Vnukovo Airport from Kievsky Station, to Sheremetyevo from Belorussky, and to Domodedovo from Paveletsky. Each of these stations has specialized ticket offices, waiting rooms and platforms. Signs will tell you how to get to this area (even in the metro).

Electric train

And now a little life hack - few people know that you can get to Domodedovo Airport from the same Paveletsky Station by regular train! Moreover, you lose almost nothing in comfort, only in time - the train covers the same distance in just over an hour. But the ticket price is only 123 rubles! And if you are a student, then generally 61.5! These trains run from half past five in the morning, and the last one leaves around 11 pm. So this is the best option if you need to get to Domodedovo. It’s a pity, however, that you won’t be able to get to Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo in the same way.

Minibuses and buses

They have one obvious disadvantage - the likelihood of getting stuck in a traffic jam. However, you can safely use this transport during the daytime on weekdays and on weekends.

Buses have a schedule, but also have many scheduled stops, which can make travel times longer. But in some places the usual city payment system operates (I once went to Sheremetyevo using the “Unified” system).

But minibuses will get you there much faster than a bus, so if you don’t have a carload of time with a small cart, it’s better to take a minibus! For this they will charge you from 70 to 150 rubles.

Working hours are approximately the same from 4:30 am to 00:30 am. Without traffic jams, you can get there by minibus in half an hour.

• When heading to Sheremetyevo, you should take a minibus at the Rechnoy Vokzal metro station: No. 949, the first car from the center, or at Planernaya: No. 948, the first car from the center. There is only one exit to the street. Opposite the exit there are bus and minibus stops.
• You will be taken to Domodedovo from Domodedovskaya station: No. 308. The last car from the center. In the underground passage, turn right to the end of the tunnel. If you go up the stairs and look around, you can immediately see the bus stop.
• In Vnukovo, minibuses start mainly from Yugo-Zapadnaya: No. 45, the first car from the center, in the underground passage to the right, from the passage up - along the left stairs. Stop near the metro exit. You can also get there from the new stations: Salaryevo has one exit to the city. City bus stops No. 611 are located 15 meters from the metro exit. Directions to the Troparevo metro station - exit from the last car, into the underground passage to the right, then to the right along the stairs and straight along the street. City bus stops No. 611k are located 10 meters from the metro exit. From Rumyantsevo - exit from the last carriage. City bus stops No. 611 are located 15 meters from the exit.

In addition, signs in the form of stickers at the station will help you get out of the metro to the stop.

Again, you won’t pass by the minibuses - the most expressive name of the airport will be displayed on the windshield, and next to you you will see an actively inviting driver. All you have to do is make yourself comfortable in the cabin and wait for departure, which occurs when it is full.

For those who still go not by minibus, but by bus, their stops are located there.

Taxi

Very expensive and ineffective, because no one is safe from traffic jams.

If you decide to use the services of a taxi driver, then prepare two thousand of our domestic rubles. Even if you are geographically close to the airport and you have to drive a maximum of 15 minutes by car, you will still pay at least 800 rubles - I tried it.

Water transport

As I said at the very beginning, it is used only for entertainment purposes, but it is always pleasant to walk along the Moscow River on a boat, so let’s consider this type of transport.

The ships operate from April to October and have fixed routes.

In the center of Moscow:

• Kyiv railway station - Ustinsky bridge - Kyiv railway station;
• Vorobyovy Gory - Goncharnaya Embankment - Vorobyovy Gory;
• Park of Culture - Krasnokholmsky Bridge - Park of Culture;
• Tretyakovsky Pier - Kremlin - Tretyakovsky Pier.

Local routes:

• Route Kolomenskoye - Brateevo - Maryino. It is actively used to deliver residents of the districts of the same name to the recreation area and the historical complex Kolomenskoye. There are only round trips from the Kolomenskoye pier lasting 1 hour.
• Routes Trinity-Lykovo - Strogino and around Serebryany Bor.
• Route to the recreation area “Bay of Joy” on the Klyazma Reservoir on the motor ships “Raketa” from the Northern River Station.
• Route along the Khimki Reservoir without landing on the shore.
• And you can take a circular route along the Moscow River from the pier at the Ukraina Hotel.

There are unusual types of walks with lunch or dinner, excursion programs, as well as the opportunity to celebrate certain holidays on board the ship!

Price

• Ticket for a walk to any pier in one direction: price for an adult - 550 rubles, for a child from 6 to 13 years old - 400 rubles, children under 6 years old - free.
• A full-day ticket with the opportunity to take a walk throughout the day with an unlimited number of boardings and disembarks: price for an adult - 900 rubles, for a child from 6 to 14 years old - 500 rubles, children under 6 years old - free.
• Ticket for a two-hour circular route Kyiv railway station - Kyiv railway station: price for an adult - 650 rubles, for a child from 6 to 14 years old - 450 rubles, children under 6 years old - free.

Tickets can be purchased at the ticket offices at the piers on the day of departure. Motor ships for a walk with stops lasting 1.5 hours depart every 25 minutes from the Kievsky railway station - from 12-00 to 20-00, from Novospassky Bridge - from 11-30 to 19-50. Changes in the work schedule are possible due to weather conditions or technical reasons.

By the way, on Vorobyovy Gory in the summer, beautiful girls can unexpectedly expect a good discount on a ticket from gentlemen from the ship’s staff, just to get passengers and, of course, give you pleasure!

Well, perhaps, with this wealth of knowledge, it won’t be difficult for you to move comfortably around Moscow and plan your time and routes wisely! ;)
