THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
SYSTEM
St.Petersburg has a well-developed
public transportation system including buses, street cars, trolleybuses and
the Metro system.
Above-ground transportation
Operates from 6.00 to 24.00. Fare is
collected through the sale of special tickets. One ticket (for a single
one-way trip) costs
RUR 5.00, it can be obtained right in
the vehicle from conductors.
Charter taxies (buses, mini-buses)
circulate along all main routes - as a rule, from 7.00 till 22.00. Fare is
from RUR 6.00 till
RUR 15.00.
The Metro System
There are 58 underground stations
in St.Petersburg, forming 4 lines of the Metro System. The Metro operates
from 5.45 to 24.00.
Line transfers stop at 0.10. The fare
is RUR 6.00. Fare is paid by special tokens (the tokens may be also used for
local calls on some city's pay-phones) or by magnetic cards available at all
Metro stations.
Taxies
Taxies can be recognized by the
checkered stripes and the letter "T" on the car door, or the enlighted sign
"Taxi" on the roof.
The fare: up to RUR 20.00 for
picking up. RUR 10.00 per kilometer.
The larger hotels maintain their own
fleets of cabs for their clients, but they charge a considerably higher fare.
We do not recommend using the
services of private car owners.
Although many taxi-parks have their
own taxi-order services, taxies may be also ordered via the centralized
taxi-order service,
