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, 
tel. 312-0022, 24 hours a day.
