Moscow Public Transport Overview

Once you have worked it out, the public transport system in Moscow is incredibly efficient, if not always comfortable. The quickest way to travel around the city is undoubtably by metro, but if you want to actually see the city, experiment with the city’s above-ground transport, which includes a vast system of trams, jolly trolleybuses (some with curtains), hard-working buses and cosy communal taxis, called marshrutki. You can also try your luck with official and expensive taxis, or catch a cheaper ride with a gypsy cab – usually a Lada, and driven by a local looking to make some extra cash. The city’s famous imperial suburbs are well serviced by suburban trains (electrichki) and marshrutki.

If the weather allows it is just as well to forget about public transport and go by foot. No matter how gemütlich the trolleybus or socially enlightening the marshrutka, nothing can beat a reflective stroll along one of the city’s many picturesque canals.
