Transport in Yekaterinburg

2023-08-26 09:42:49 UTC

Public transport
In Yekaterinburg you can use buses, trams, trolleybus and the underground. People use it to commute every day. The main problem of public transport is that it's old and doesn't go often. But it's the cheapest way to goes around the city. You can use a contactless bank card to pay, or pay in cash. The underground is tiny, only 9 stations for city of many millions, so not most people can't use it.
On the transport stop you can see online timetable, it's useful to know what time your bus is set off.

Taxis
The most comfortable way to move in Yekaterinburg is taxi. It costs no so much, but price tend to increase every year. Mostly cars in a good conditional, and of course you can choose the car rate: economy, comfort, comfort+, business. And one new rate that calls "Together", then you take a taxi and pick up somebody by your way or vice versa, and you share the cost of the trip. It's a good option when you can't afford call taxi for full price, for example in rush hour.
Normally it takes 20-40 minutes to get from A to B in the city.

Electric scooters and bikes
Last 2-3 years electric scooters and bikes became popular, especially which you can rent from one minute. It is very conveniently! And when in the city a lot of traffic jams they will be fastest! At the same time, unfortunately, we haven't got special bike lines on the roads, so you constantly need to slow down in front of the pedestrians.

Now we have a lot of Electric scooters for rent in the city, so they never run out of. But some riders drive sharkly and can knock another people down. It's dangerous, so if you simply walk you necessary need to look out sides.

Tram.

This is the best transport to travel without traffic jams. And this is the shortcut to get around the city.
With the Fast Track system you can pay by yourself. You need to put your contactless bank card or your smartphone at the turnstile when you get on and then when you get off. The tram doesn't go with steady speed, when the station is ahead the Tram slows down.

Bikes.

You can get off at the station Sochy park and use bikes for sightseeing. You can set off your journey from attractions.
The bike is the most comfortable transport in this place. But it isn't as cheap as Tram.

The taxi is the most expensive and comfortable transport in Sochy. It can pick you up and drop you off everywhere. Taxi is the safest way to travel at night.

Transport in Moscow _ Olga

2023-08-28 21:25:18 UTC

The most comfortable public transport is the tube. Moreover Moscow’s tube is the most beautiful. Many new lines have been opened lately. You can get to the center city in 30-40 minutes from distance(t) districts of Moscow. This transport is chipper (cheaper) than other(s).

Moscow is the city with huge traffic jams during rush hour. That’s why the car is less faster (slower?) then(than) public transport. If you have country house, the car(is) better than train, but you have to set off at early morning to avoid rush hour traffic. Usually the journey takes about 2-2,5 hours , if your house 100 km from Moscow.

In Moscow car sharing service began develop(ing) in 2015. It is convenient transport for short trip around city. This transport is the least expensive than own car. The best thing in car sharing is free parking.

Motorbike is the most dangerous transport. Most motorbikers appear In the spring in Moscow. Motorbike isn’t as comfortable as car. Drivers have to look out for motorbikers, drivers have to look in the side mirrors always.

I decided to write about Istanbul because I saw that about Moscow someone Has already written. So about underground, it’s not So good and not so bad. Of course, I usually compare With Moscow. If we compare with Moscow, I’m telling you about the time. What I noticed that the trains usually go in five minutes in order. The underground is quite clean And cheap.

About coaches. I don’t know why, but if you look at the Google schedule it shows you wrong time. There Are a lot of buses to different direction, but you never know when it comes. First time when Wc came to our area we couldn’t Find our bus and It was a few times when I go by bus and it was going going, and I noticed that I am in the middle of nowhere. Shit happens.

Also, in Istanbul A lot of trams, and by the way From European site to Asia site, you can go by ferry.

Also, they have Metrobus. This is Long bus and it has special Road and you can go to suburbs without traffic light.

Transport in Khimki

2023-12-05 13:34:42 UTC

If you ask me about popular transport in my town Khimki I offer to use a bus or taxi for people living in new district and train for people from old district of my town. Unfortunately, there are a lot of cars in my town and we have a big traffic jams especially in rush hours. Since our town is located not far from Moscow people commute to Moscow as a rule. Ordinary it's takes about 30 minutes but not in rush hours. In my opinion, our drivers break rules of movement so you have to look out both driving a car and accrossing a road. Also I would advertise the new type of transport in my town. It's Moscow Central Road 3. It's opened recently but I had already a chance to use it. It's really fastest and most convenient way to get to Moscow but only for people from the old district. Regarding me bus or taxi are the most friendly transport.

Transport in Gelendzhik

Buses 🚌

The most affordable and widespread transport in my hometown is bus, because there are a lot of buses and this kind of transport the cheapest. But if you choose to get around by bus, be prepared to grind to halt in a traffic, especially in summer time, the fact is that in summer populations increases several times. If you want to get to a place in the middle of nowhere, you should use another vehicle like a car or taxi.

Taxi 🚕

There are also many taxis as well as buses, but it’s mostly private taxi, not like Yandex for example. I mean people who stand in a bus station with their cars and wait other people who wanna use a taxi. But we also have Yandex and Uber services. Because of the local people are mostly aged people and they can’t use internet services, so it’s easier for them to use a private taxi.

Motorbikes 🏍️

In my opinion this is the best kind of transport in this city. Because we usually have a good weather and you don’t have a worry about getting cold. And if you don’t want to get in a traffic, I should use this. But only if you get around alone or with your one friend, not with your mom or grandma (they usually hate this).

Bikes 🚲

Of you have enough time and energy, the best vehicle for you is bike. We have long cycle track along the embankment or you can move on the streets. And also if you prefer to use bikes, you can jump the lights, because there aren’t any traffic lights in the embankment. Also you don’t worry about gas, you can’t run out of gas!
