LOCAL TRANSPORT
Ekaterinburg uses almost all types of public transport – bus, tram, trolleybus and metro (underground). Public transport is quite cheap (28 rubles one way). A special person ‘conductor’, who is present in every vehicle, accepts payment in the aboveground transport so you don’t need prepaid cards (only cash may be used, however cards do exist). Names of stations are not translated into English.
Underground (Subway)
The Metro, however, is quite easy to use, it is not very crowded and also provides a chance to see beautiful stations decorated with marble and Ural gems. For many years the local metro was considered to be the shortest metro in the world and was mentioned in the Guinness book.
Buses and trams
When it comes to buses and trams the main difficulty is the absence of a schedule. To use this form of transportation one should go to the bus or tram stop and wait for one`s desired bus or tram to arrive. ‘Yandex transport’ program for smartphones allows checking the current location of vehicles. Trams are less likely to get stuck in traffic, but it is possible.
Taxi
A taxi ride inside the city will cost you about 100-300 rubles (less than 5 US$), from city to airport 400-600 rubles. To get a taxi you should call the operator and tell them where you are and where you want to go. Unfortunately, not all taxi operators speak English. Here are the websites of several taxi operators:
Most operators have downloadable Android, IPhone or Windows Phone applications Download the app from the App Store and Google Play.
One of the problems is non-English-speaking drivers in taxis.
