Taxis in Russia like those found elsewhere in the world, but like many other things, there is a unique "feel Russian," This makes the race less understandable for a typical Western visitor. It's a good thing you found this story because I, from Russia with an understanding of the psyche of the West, will give you a complete guide to get a taxi in Russia, Moscow, St. Petersburg or any other Russian city.

There are three types of taxis that crowd the Russian roads "real cabs (usually yellow)," airport cab (Cabsters) "and" cabs citizens. If you plan to use a taxi, the distinction is important because it determines how you will be asked to pay and how much you should actually pay.

Begin with the strange change taxis in Russia – "an airport cab (cabsters)." Those who, as you can probably guess, living in areas surrounding airports. They are not "real cabs, in a way that is not exploited by real companies and are not licensed taxi. They are led by a clique of private entrepreneurs who stick around the airport terminals in hopes of finding a foreign tourist who does not suspect anything. They are easy to distinguish in the crowd. They will tell you about "Taxi, taxi, you need a need a ride? "

Remember, do not use their service unless you're willing to up to $ 200 for a walk 30 minutes and put yourself in danger of being stolen. Also, keep in mind that the "official" outlets in Moscow airports cooperate with these cabsters. If you go to a bar, they will put you in one of these booths and give you the same outrageous rates.

Nobody understands why there is no "real cabins" available in airports in Moscow. Perhaps because "taxis airport" scare "booths real" with violence. "Taxis from the airport" are a legacy of turbulence 90, and a semi-criminal, you must stay away.

So how do you get from the airport to your hotel? This is an excellent idea to organize your transfer from the airport in advance. Do not rely on public transit. It is very inconvenient and may take several hours to get to the city. It is a good idea to ask your travel agent to arrange your transfer from the airport in advance. Travel All Russia (1.800.884.1721) can organize a " Real taxi "for only $ 50 which will be the airport and the driver will wait for you to exit the terminal with a sign with your name on it.

Once you enter the city, you do not have to worry about cabsters because they rarely leave their natural habitat. There will be plenty official taxis that go by-the-meter, in large cities at least. In smaller towns, you can use "cabs citizens." You can get "cabin" citizens in major cities as well. They cost about the same as actual cabins. The best way to get a real cab once you're in the city is to ask your hotel desk clerk to order a taxi for you.

How to get "cabin citizen"

* Just go to a roadside in a busy street, stick your hand and you'll see two or three cars pulling a few seconds later. The rate is still $ 10 for every 10 minutes driving.

* Once a car up, tell the driver where you go

* A driver thinks that for a few seconds, then ask yourself "Skolko" (how much).

* At this point, it must be said – "1000 rubles" (which is around $ 40) if you go beyond 10 minutes. If you leave within 10 minutes, or 500 rubles.

* A driver will tell you "Malo" (not enough)

* Repeat your offer of one or two more times and it should do something. Driver says "Ladno" (OK) or "Sadis' (enter). If a driver does not yield, to sweeten a deal by about 20%.
