Transport System in Ekaterinburg

Ekaterinburg is the third largest city in Russia. It is the leading industrial, scientific and cultural center of the whole country. You can get to the city both by plane and by rail. Koltosovo airport in Ekaterinburg receives international flights.

Ekaterinburg lies on Trans-Siberian railway, so if you like to travel in Russia by train, so you can easily visit this city coming there by train. For flights to Russia, for Russian train tickets, for hotels in Russia. These are the sites that I find very helpful.

The system of public transport is well developed in Ekaterinburg. Most of the citizens use public transport, as very few of them can afford having own car. Public transport is always overcrowded, as it is very cheap.

The main city transport is buses, which can take you to any corner of the city. Trolley-buses and trams are also often used by locals, as it’s a fast and convenient transport.

But the fastest public transport in the city is route taxi, which can be toped anywhere on the route. The charge is small, though most of the route taxies belong to private transport companies.

Ekaterinburg has a very famous underground as it has the shortest underground stations in the whole country. It connects city center with the distinct part of the city Uralmash.

If you don’t want to use public transport you can always rent a car with or without a driver. There are some companies in the city that offer different kind of cars for rent.
